The editors of Cascadian Zen: Volume I will be joined by four other poets from the new anthology at Arundel Books, at 7pm, Friday, January 19, 2024. Free tickets are available at Eventbrite. The event is a celebration the creative voices that came together to create the anthology comprised of poetry, non-fiction, and art dedicated to the bioregion of Cascadia.
What is the nature of the bioregion known as Cascadia? How is this insight expressed by the people who live, work, practice, and play here? Is there a connection between Zen practice, broadly construed, and the Cascadia bioregion? If so, what is it? Who have been the teachers in the relatively short time that Zen has been known in this bioregion? What role does water play here, more so than in other bioregions and what implications does that have for the people who live here, for their practice?
Readers will include Adelia MacWilliam, Paul Nelson, Jason Wirth, Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs, Terran Campbell, Ann Spiers & Alicia Hokanson.
