Throughout the year, we organize events designed to foster a community of like-minded people centered around organic, open-form poetry, and an ecological philosophy that emphasizes a connection to our bioregion, its history and the indigenous people that lived here long, long before colonization. We aim to expose our supporters to ideas about art as an art-of-living practice, inspired by the spiritual practice of understanding the bioregion surrounding us: soil, air, water, flora, fauna, and weather. In 2023, we hosted a successful Poetry Postcard Fest and the 7th Cascadia Poetry Festival, along with launching Watershed Press and publishing our anthology Cascadian Zen Vol. I. This is all thanks to donations from people like you!
Alo-HA Judy- nice inner view and a glimpse into your “introverted-ness”…thank you…Frieda, Emily D & Mary Oliver are fast becoming my friends for coffee in the morning…AND I am happy to know that you have been an active participant in the PoPo Fest for every year that it has been around…I also feel that I will “always” be a participant, however, I will hold your mentor-ship as a nice uplifting goal to have…Namaste StanleydelGozo
A cheery and heart warming interview. Judy telling about her different muses each year are
very inspiring to me. It is encouraging to listen to Judy and Paul talk about the guidelines but
no rules. Accepting of every form / every one. Thank you for your openness and sharing
… I feel I missed a lot not finding facebook til ten years ago. and then taking so many years to find
the wealth of community that can be found in people with a common but different journey.
Thank you both for your wonderful spirits of the joy of sharing post card poetry. 🙂 <3
