Cascadian Zen Book Event in Mendocino County, Northern California

From Theresa Whitehill, event organizer:

Ukiah poets and poetry scholars Theresa Whitehill, Armand Brint, Dan Barth, Michael Riedell, and Susan Baird will read a selection of poetry and other writings from the two-volume Cascadian Zen publication. The collection, published in 2023 and 2024 by Watershed Press, features poetry, essays, artwork, and interviews, exploring themes of bioregionalism, water, poetics of place, and expressions of Zen within the Cascadia bioregion. Cascadia is an area of land defined by its rivers, watersheds, and geological landmarks rather than geo-political boundaries; it extends from Willits up through the northwestern US, including parts of Nevada, Idaho, Montana as well as northern California, Oregon, and Washington, through western Canada and into southern Alaska. The publication includes the work of the Cascadian and Mendocino County poet Mary Norbert Korte. Cover art is by Rick Bartow. The book project was designed by Theresa Whitehill, who was also an associate editor of Volume I.
