Celebrate CPL on Giving Tuesday Dec. 3!

We thank all participants and attendees at the recent 8th Cascadia Poetry Festival. We hope to stage this at the Hugo House annually for years to come. Videos and photos from the festival will be shared on the Cascadia Poetics Lab website over the course of the next few months, so be sure to keep an eye on our blog posts!

The festival has a budget of $30,000 dollars and we keep registration affordable and pay poets a modest stipend. In addition, printing costs for the beautiful Cascadian Zen Volume II will not be recouped for months. A year-end donation helps us get through this difficult post-festival time. Given the state of our country right now, supporting true culture that is anchored to place is more important than ever and our costs have never been higher.

Please consider a year end donation, or a podcast sponsorship, a donation targeted at Watershed Press, our publishing imprint, or buy a few copies of Cascadian Zen. CPL turns 31 on December 14, 2024, and we can use support at this time to go into 2025 in a financially robust way. CLICK HERE TO BECOME A SUPPORTER OF CASCADIA POETICS LAB! 

We’d love to see end of year giving from Poetry Postcard Fest participants!

Thank you for your consideration in helping the Cascadia Poetics Lab Empower people to practice poetry & deepen connections to place, self & the present moment.

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
