Chinook Beach Park 4.14.2022 2It has the potential to be quite a place to experience Seattle at its best. Right on Lake Washington, with views of the Cascade Mountains, a modest greenbelt with indigenous plants like Indian Plum and right off the 7 bus line. Chinook Beach Park is quite a place, except for the litter. The Seattle Park District is getting better at upkeep (probably after numerous Find It, Fix It petitions from a reporter only known as “PN”) but those who litter are relentless.

The Cascadia Poetics Lab invites you to come help us tidy up the park on Earth Day, Friday, April 22, at 1pm. We’ll have some bags and at least two garbage pickers, but you might want to bring your own gloves. Harold Fields at Umami Kushi will provide some pan after we do our work.

What: Earth Day Cleanup
Where: Chinook Beach Park
When: Friday, April 22, 2022, 1-3pm.
Who: Cascadia Poetics Lab, Paul E Nelson, Jason Wirth & you.
How: Go down the path just south of the Water’s Edge Condo, 9520 Rainier Av S.

If you’re up for it, later that same day there will be Jazz and Poetry at Kezira Café at 6pm with the Jim O’Halloran Trio and poets Greg Bem and your humble narrator, Paul E Nelson. Come say hello.

Giving Tuesday 2023

Giving Tuesday 2023

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!

Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs Sociology Interview

Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs Sociology Interview

In the interview, Gutiérrez y Muhs discusses her journey from child farmworker to a professor with multiple degrees from multiple institutions, including Stanford University and Occidental College, and explains the values she learned from her working class background that she was able to incorporate later into academia. She also mentions her role as the 2018-2020 Theiline Pigott McCone Endowed Chair in the Humanities at Seattle University and her role as editor for Presumed Incompetent, both positions allowing her to focus on uplifting Chicanx and Latinx voices and highlight experiences of unequal treatment for POC, queer and working class people in academia.
