C.E. Putnam

One of the most inventive NW poets lives in Singapore these days, but is coming back to the NW. (Details in his email pasted in below).

C.E. Putnam was born in Seattle and has lived in three world capitals (London, Washington DC, and Bangkok). A former co-curator of the Subtext Reading Series, he maintains P.I.S.O.R. (The Putnam Institute for Space Opera Research) & founded FiftyCentsOffPress. Monkey Puzzle, Bird Dog, Pom2, Ixnay, 6ix, Pavement Saw, Tin Fish & Skanky Possum contain some of his writings. He currently lives in Seattle, but not for long.

From C.E.:

Hi Paul,

As you probably know, I’m going to be in town in December and am putting on a book release party on Saturday the 8th (details below). Hopefully, The Stranger will get the event posted soon. I’m wondering if you have any other suggestions for where else to send the details? Hope you can make the event.

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving and see you soon,

What end does politics serve? Surely it must serve ends beyond itself. Why seek greater bioregional autonomy? For self-determination. Yes, but what purpose in turn shall that value serve? None some may say, it’s self-justifying. But then it becomes an absolute unto itself which can be used to justify many different things, some questionable. Why not come right out at the beginning and say what you’re really for?
The primary purpose of seeking greater bioregional identity and autonomy is to serve the life of the place and its people as a whole. Indeed, the primary purpose of Politics is to serve the life of the place and its people on many levels in an equitable and sustainable way.
