This reading celebrates the Cascadia Field Guide, a culmination of art, poetry, and stories that connect the reader to the beautiful and diverse landscapes of Cascadia and the beings that live there. Cascadia is the ecoregion stretching from South East Alaska to Northern California, spanning 2500 miles of the Pacific Coast. In this reading we will hear poems from anthology editors Derek Sheffield, Elizabeth Bradfield, and CMarie Fuhrman along with contributors Andrew C. Gottlieb, Betsy Aoki, and Gabrielle Bates. There will be another event celebrating the Cascadia anthology on Sunday that will feature readings during a guided outdoor walk beginning at High Bridge Park. Learn more about that event here!
