Cascadia Poetics Lab board member Adelia MacWilliam is a poet whose family settled on Salt Spring Island in the 1850s. Adelia has struggled with the settler amnesia and is part of what promises to be a fascinating talk on Saturday, November 26, 2022 at 2pm at the Salt Spring Library. We hope to see you there.
Notes on the last Poetry Postcard Activation for 2026 at Pritchard Beach in Seattle.
The last 2026 Poetry Postcard Activation is set for June 6 from 11a-1pm at Pritchard Beach in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood with postcard collage making, future-centric poetry prompts, local history and a vision for the venue in the future.
This year the Poetry Postcard Fest celebrates its 20th anniversary. From the fest many a creative project has spawned, and one recent example of that is Julie Master’s book: No Headlines Here: Postcard Poems.
Sounds so interesting. Too bad it can’t also be zoomed for us far away folks.
I would love to be there and listen. I remember Salt Spring from my childhood and I put it into my novel – Alberta & the Spark. One day – I need to go back up there and see that it gets out and read on the Island. I would be happy to mail a copy to Adelia MacWilliam.
I would drive up and ferry over if my passport hadn’t been stolen.
Of course all poets are welcome here at my house in Astoria Oregon!
I was present at the “Raised by the Sea” event in 2022, where I was impressed and touched by Adelia MacWilliams poetry. I would like to buy two more copies of her book “Details of the Passage: Poems from an Island”.
Are they still available? And if so, how would I reach Adelia to order more copies?
Thank you for your help.
