We will begin the process of documenting and reporting on all of the developments from the 8th Cascadia Poetry Festival on this blog in the next few weeks and months, including video of as much of the program as possible. In the meantime, huge thanks to all the participants, attendees and members of the Cascadia Poetry Festival committee and key volunteers, fest volunteers and our amazing Administrative Assistant Verónica Martinez. Some fest photos for your enjoyment:
The last 2026 Poetry Postcard Activation is set for June 6 from 11a-1pm at Pritchard Beach in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood with postcard collage making, future-centric poetry prompts, local history and a vision for the venue in the future.
This year the Poetry Postcard Fest celebrates its 20th anniversary. From the fest many a creative project has spawned, and one recent example of that is Julie Master’s book: No Headlines Here: Postcard Poems.
