The board of the Cascadia Poetics Lab had its spring 2023 board retreat on Salt Spring Island. Our last retreat on the Long Beach Peninsula was a huge success and we made new friends in that part of the world. Promo poster by Roberta Hoffman is below. Here is the audio in order of the readers, including introductions.

Worth the trip to Saltspring! Thanks to all from Ted and Lorin (Comox)
Postcarding and DaySonging (A Workshop). In this session it will be a presentation of how the postcard fest developed, how the daysong developed, how I prepare for the fest and how participants attending prepare for the fest, as well as how to prepare for a successful daysong. The similarities of the daysong to serial poetry could be discussed, as well as the effort to put one’s self into the open, which has benefits in one’s own life.
Part of the Cascadia 2050 mission is: to inspire artists and poets of the next generation to consider bioregionalism and intuitive poetic approach as a way to foster a more just and sustainable Cascadia by 2050. To this end, one of our goals is to interview people who help us spread awareness by having practices in their lives that reflect these values. This interview with Postcard Poet Laura Gamache, a Seattle who has published poetry in the usual places, such as chapbooks, journals and anthologies, and also unusual places, such as buses, is the first of the series.
