SUMMARY:Robert Duncan's HD Book: The Roots of Modernism
DESCRIPTION:Robert Duncan’s H.D. Book: The Roots of Modernism with Michael Boughn\nWe will read The H.D. Book together over 5 weeks.

The goal here is to let Duncan lead us into an encounter with the marvelous as we follow his encounter with H.D. as it led him into the depths of history\, mind\, and soul. \nWednesdays 5:30-7:30 PM Pacific Time\nSeptember 17 – October 15\, 2025 \nSeptember 17\, 24\nOctober 1\, 8\, and 15 \nOnline\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:9th Cascadia Poetry Festival
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be here? What practices help reconnect a person to a place? How does this manifest in Cascadia as opposed to other bioregions\, places? What are poets doing to respond to the realities of the United States moving toward an authoritarian style of rule?  \nThe Cascadia Poetry Festival is a gathering of poets and bioregionalists\, exploring poetry and its connection to environmental\, political\, historical\, and sociological pursuits within Cascadia bioregion. The festival aims to consider how prioritizing natural and cultural boundaries\, rather than arbitrary political ones\, can address climate change and other issues. \nOctober 10-12\, 2025 at the Rainier Beach Community Center \nFull schedule available HERE. Gold passes available HERE. \nWorkshops and panels featuring poets Brenda Cardenas\, Zach Charles\, Jim Dott\, Roberto Harrison\, Brenda Hillman\, Alicia Hokanson\, Robert Lashley\, Lorin Medley\, Rhea Melina\, Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs\, Paul E. Nelson\, Roxi Power\, Robert Michael Pyle\, Sharon Thesen\, Matt Trease\, Jason Wirth\, Katie Sarah Zale.

SUMMARY:Poet as Radio Fall 2025
DESCRIPTION:Poet as Radio: Writing from Intuition\nA 5-week online poetry workshop designed for folks with a wide variety of experience with poetry and with a keen interest in spirituality and the occult. This course is more than a workshop; it’s a journey into the unknown\, where you’ll discover hidden messages and ideas both from within yourself and the outside world. Through chance\, divination\, games\, and ritual\, you’ll learn to trust your intuition and let your spontaneity guide your writing. \nParticipants will engage in simple but fun word games to encourage spontaneity\, explore the body as a receiver of intuitive messages\, and develop and practice small rituals that enhance their perception of everyday life. Readings will include works by Jack Spicer\, Hoa Nguyen\, and CA Conrad among others. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your poetic practice\, this workshop will provide you with the tools and inspiration to transform your writing. Join us as we tune into the invisible frequencies and uncover hidden messages emanating from the world outside! \nSundays 3-5:00 PM Pacific Time\nSeptember 7 – October 5\, 2025 \nSeptember 7\, 14\, 21\, 28\nOctober 5 \nOnline\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Robert Duncan's HD Book: The Roots of Modernism
DESCRIPTION:Robert Duncan’s H.D. Book: The Roots of Modernism with Michael Boughn\nWe will read The H.D. Book together over 5 weeks. It’s a big book\, so that’s a lot of reading\, but he’s a joy to read\, so it’s not exactly onerous. I will probably talk a bit at the beginning of each session and then open it up to the participants. I wrote the introduction. You should read it first. We can talk about that as well. The goal here is to let Duncan lead us into an encounter with the marvelous as we follow his encounter with H.D. as it led him into the depths of history\, mind\, and soul. \nWednesdays 5:30-7:30 PM Pacific Time\nSeptember 17 – October 15\, 2025 \nSeptember 17\, 24\nOctober 1\, 8\, and 15 \nOnline\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Poet as Radio Fall 2025
DESCRIPTION:Poet as Radio: Writing from Intuition\nA 5-week online poetry workshop designed for folks with a wide variety of experience with poetry and with a keen interest in spirituality and the occult. This course is more than a workshop; it’s a journey into the unknown\, where you’ll discover hidden messages and ideas both from within yourself and the outside world. Through chance\, divination\, games\, and ritual\, you’ll learn to trust your intuition and let your spontaneity guide your writing. \nParticipants will engage in simple but fun word games to encourage spontaneity\, explore the body as a receiver of intuitive messages\, and develop and practice small rituals that enhance their perception of everyday life. Readings will include works by Jack Spicer\, Hoa Nguyen\, and CA Conrad among others. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your poetic practice\, this workshop will provide you with the tools and inspiration to transform your writing. Join us as we tune into the invisible frequencies and uncover hidden messages emanating from the world outside! \nSundays 3-5:00 PM Pacific Time\nSeptember 7 – October 5\, 2025 \nSeptember 7\, 14\, 21\, 28\nOctober 5 \nOnline\nREGISTER HERE
