COURSE DESCRIPTION

Students in this course will be attending (with an option to volunteer during) the Cascadia Poetry Festival to be held at Seattle University’s Pigott Auditorium and Paccar Atrium, and at locations in the surrounding neighborhood, from May 1-4, 2014. The Cascadia Poetry Festival is an international event which seeks to bioregionally animate & culturally construct Cascadia by gathering writers, artists, scientists and activists to collaborate, discover and foster deeper connection between all inhabitants and the place itself. Students registered for this course are required to do the following things in order to receive credit: 1) Contact and arrange to meet with the instructor prior to the festival to discuss logistics and expectations (or arrange for an alternative means to have this discussion); 2) Attend two days of the festival, during which registered students will meet as a class at a designated time and location at the festival site for a discussion; and 3) Students registered for this course need to submit a written reflection on the festival based on some questions and guidelines that the instructor will provide.

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

Dec 4, 2023

The Ridge is a poem in 20 parts, a meditation on a geological feature of Quadra Island, a large island in British Columbia, just north of the Strait of Georgia, and thus the Salish Sea. But the poem is also a meditation on what’s happening on the island and on the planet we share in what’s been described as devastating imagery. I would add that it’s a meditation on the human species as well, at this time in the early Anthropocene.
Robert Bringhurst is the author. Trained initially in the sciences at MIT, he makes his life in the humanities from his home on Quadra Island, where he’s worked in poetry, Native American linguistics and typography. An officer of the Order of Canada, former Guggenheim Fellow and winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence. He’s our guest today to talk about The Ridge. Robert, thanks for your time and hospitality.
