Alice died today, December 23, 2023 so we are re-posting this interview as Alice heads to postcard heaven. Goodbye...
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!
Thank you for the interview. I found the “one day” of writing poems interesting … beyond my attention span.
Paul, I also found the idea of … forget who you did it .. but the connected butcher paper so they would have to stop
and change the paper mid-thought. Wish I’d thought of that back in the day 🙂
Very much enjoying all the interviews.
Interesting, delightful, multi-faceted personalities, the August poetry participants are. And Paul is a great interviewer.
June, bless your heart! Thanks for the kind words and for being a POPO poet! Happy 2021!
Congratulations Dr. Alicia!! I’m very proud to have had you as a tutor in ESAp, and I greatly admire your enthusiasm and intelligence. I really like POPO Poetry! ☺
Paul, really loving these interviews!
Abhaya! Thanks for watching them!
