The
Cascadia Poetry Festival is an international event that
seeks to bioregionally animate and culturally construct Cascadia bioregion by
gathering writers, artists, scientists and activists to collaborate, discover
and foster deeper connection between all inhabitants and the place itself. Over
four days the festival features Academic, Democratic and Performance
components, late night readings, a Small Press Fair and several workshops. Some
of the best poetry minds in the bioregion will gather, discuss this place and
begin to better understand Cascadia and our role here. The festival was founded by SPLAB, Seattle Poetics Lab.
The first
two Cascadia Poetry Festivals were held in Seattle
where the 2014 Festival attracted 400 participants.
The
40 poets to be featured at the 2015 Festival in Nanaimo include Sam Hamill, Brenda Hillman, Susan Musgrave, Robert
Bringhurst, Barry McKinnon, Sharon Thesen, George Stanley, Stephen Collis,
Joanne Arnott, Peter Culley, Amber Dawn, Garry Gottfriedson, Robert Lashley,
Christine Leclerc, Paul Nelson, Sebastien Wen, Rita Wong and so many more! See
the full list here.
