The 9th Cascadia Poetry Festival is happening October 10-12th, 2025 at the Rainier Beach Community Club. One of the featured poets is Sharon Thesen, a legendary B.C. poet who considers herself a “Cascadian poet.” She says poetry is “a bit off on an angle” and one reviewer says that is the direction she prefers for tracking the invisible world of transmission. Author of more than 14 books of poetry, editor and retired professor, Sharon Thesen was born in 1946 in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and lives in Lake Country, British Columbia.
