The second Cascadia Poetry Festival was a huge success, both in terms of the content, the depth of the dialog and the finances.

Blog posts are rolling in from Joanne Arnott: http://joannearnott.blogspot.ca/2014/05/cascadia-poetry-festival.html

Kim Goldberg: http://pigsquash.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/photos-cascadia-poetry-festival-2014/

I posted here: http://paulenelson.com/2014/05/09/cascadia-poets-get-a-taste-of-the-latihan/ and more reports and photos are forthcoming.

And if you attended, please consider filling out the online survey here.

The main festival page will be the same for Cascadia III in Nanaimo, April 30-May 3, 2015 and more details are coming soon about the particulars of that festival, so stayed tuned to your friendly neighborhood E-Fishwrapper.

Also, news on the upcoming anthology, 100 Innovative Cascadia Poets, to be published by Leaf Press and the free MOOC on Innovative Cascadia Poetry is also forthcoming.

Thanks for supporting our bioregional cultural investigation.
