Cascadia Mono Poem Reading

On October 11, 2025, we closed the second day of the 9th Cascadia Poetry Festival with a mono poem. Poets read original work for four minutes or less with no introductions or interruptions. Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs facilitated and introduced the event, and readers included featured poets from Cascadia Poetry Festival, friends and volunteers of CPL and Seattle University students. Featured readers were: Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs, Greg Bem, Zach Charles, Psalmbrea Doss, BeeLyn Naihiwet, Diana Elser, Iva Halacheva, Alicia Hokanson, Robert Lashley, Nadine Maestas, Rhea Melina, Lorin Medley, Paul Nelson, Kurt Parsons, Roxi Power, Robert Michael Pyle, Hailey Spencer, Matt Trease, Theresa Whitehill, Ann Spiers, Rob Lewis, Brenda Hillman and Enrico Favela.
