Cascadia Poetics Lab in High Country News

On September 30, 2024, High Country News published the article “Remembering Colleen McElroy, the ‘literary North Star’ of the Pacific Northwest,” written by Robert Lashley. In the article, Cascadia Poetics Lab and Paul Nelson is mentioned: “With the noble and notable exception of Paul Nelson and the Cascadia Poetics Lab, McElroy died without receiving any of the flowers she deserved in the Pacific Northwest, ignored by the writers’ spinoff groups of Seattle’s Black upper class, who tried to redraw the culture center without including her in it.” We are honored to be acknowledged in this article, and continue to appreciate and remember Colleen McElroy’s literary impact.

Read the full article HERE! Paul Nelson’s 2016 interview with Colleen McElroy is available for listening HERE. Thank you to Robert Lashley for mentioning CPL in your dedication to Colleen! Robert Lashley will be a featured poet at the 8th Cascadia Poetry Festival. Register for the festival HERE
