This sounds like a wonderful idea!

Usage correction: To avoid confusion, please note that the Postcard Poetry Fest Committee of the Cascadia Poetics LAB (CPL) is not a “project board” nor are the fabulous committee members “board members”. They are committee members on one of five major committees that create and organize activities sanctioned and funded by CPL.

Feb 1, 2025

Sanskrit translations, a deep bioregional sense of place and homages to dead (mostly) poet friends makes Andrew Schelling’s new book a compelling distillation of subjects he’s been tracking for over 40 years.

Winter in America (Again Poets Respond to the Nov 2024 Election

Jan 20, 2025

In the call, we stated: “We are looking for words that come from thoughtful reflection and compassion for the loss we feel for ourselves and this country. (Please no screeds.)” Still, we got many poems that were filled with righteous anger, on which we passed.
