GUEST POETS: Elizabeth Bradfield and Susan Landgraf!

PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE for BIPOC writers and individuals in financial need: We want this workshop to be accessible to all who want to participate. We know these are difficult times and for some there is the added stress of losing your job or reduced income. If the price is a real hardship, please email Susan at PoetsontheCoast(at) gmail.com and tell us in 2-3 sentences what your circumstances are, send three recent poems (published or unpublished) and tell us what, if anything, you could pay.

We could not do this weekend without the ongoing support of these poetry presses, indie bookstores, and writing residencies.

OUR PROJECT PARTNERS include:
   Copper Canyon Press

   Floating Bridge Press
   Hedgebrook 

   Museum of Northwest Art (MOMA)
   Two Sylvias Press
