CPF8 Saturday Breakout Sessions

On Saturday, Nov. 2 from 12-2, Cascadia Poetry Festival participants will get to participate in multiple breakout sessions at the Hugo House! During this time, organizations from Seattle and the Cascadia bioregion will also be selling their material and promoting their work. 

Poetry Postcards: Stop by and make a postcard collage to send to someone and write a poem on the back! Write a poem inspired by a quote, by a nearby tree, or by the way the wind whistles in the gutters. Write a poem inspired by the events of the Cascadia Poetry Festival happening around you. And at the end, participate in the maintenance of our poetic community by signing up for the Poetry Postcard Fest to write (and receive!) 31 postcard poems this coming July and August! Hosted by Zach Charles and Sally Hedges-Blanquez.

Writing at Red Lights: Join Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs for a workshop centered on writing in places where you have little time.

CPL Workshop Preview: Join CPL Founder and workshop facilitator Paul E Nelson and CPL Board Member Matt Trease in a discussion of upcoming online workshops including Poetics as Cosmology, Life as Rehearsal for the Poem and Poet as Radio, as we discuss materials, the poetics of the Cascadia Poetics Lab and how to be more fully here and now in your bioregion.

The full CPF8 schedule is available HERE! Multiple registration options for CPF8 are still available HERE

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. The book features many poems that offer suggestions, pathways and even self-care tips for the new Winter in America. That very phrase “Winter in America” comes from Gil Scott-Heron, and was used by the editors as a sort-of invocation to Gil’s spirit and legacy. I
