We had a wonderful Open Mic for Poetry Postcard Fest participants Saturday morning, September 10, 2022. The sense of community was palpable and it is always nice to meet the people behind the cards you received. Our count was 22 poets. Video is linked below and registration for the 2023 fest is open now at: ppf.cascadiapoeticslab.org/register/ Our thanks go out to to SICA-USA for their third year of sponsoring the fest.

    Was in the wtong time zone and unable to participate. Really hated to miss the open mic session. Anticipate every August and the opportunity to write a card a day. Also, what a joy to receive them! When I returned home, four showed up in my retained mail—what fun!

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!
