We are planning on a fully in-person Poets on the Coast 2024 at the beautiful Country Inn in La Conner, WA. We have reserved space and hope that a year from now, the pandemic will be completely in the rearview mirror. We will, of course, pay keen attention to the updates from the CDC and the State of Washington. If it is not possible to meet in person, we will Zoom our way with Goddess Houses, small groups, etc.

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 and Patty 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gmail.com and tell us in 2-3 sentences what your circumstances are, send three recent poems (published or unpublished) and tell us what, if anything, you could pay.
Alternatively, if you’d like to sponsor a person in need, please contact Poets on the Coast(at) gmail.com
We could not do this weekend without the ongoing support of these poetry presses, indie bookstores, and writing residencies.
