There are a few poetry events coming up... You don't even have to leave your house for the first one:
"Art Zone In Studio with Nancy Guppy," is a brand-new weekly 30-minute TV show on the Seattle Channel (22 if you have Comcast cable). Art Zone is 100% devoted to celebrating and promoting the local art scene. Each new episode will premiere at 8:00 on Thursday nights, with a repeat airing later that evening, and two more airings each on Friday and Saturday night. The show will also stream on line: www.seattlechannel.org/artzone Nancy does a great job with the show and it's a terrific introduction to local artists and arts events.
Poet Lucille Clifton will read at Intiman Theatre for the Seattle Arts and Lectures Poetry Series, April 7 at 7:30 p.m. Here's a site where you can get a taste of her extraordinary work, http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poet.html?id=1304 Tickets and more information at www.lectures.org.
On April 24 at 7pm, local poet Elizabeth Austen will be reading at Cheap Wine and Poetry with Rebecca Louden, Cody Walker and Roberto Ascalon. http://www.cheapwineandpoetry.com/
The annual Burning Word Festival on Whidbey Island is April 26 -- a full day of readings, workshops and, of course, great pie from Greenbank Farms... More info at http://www.washingtonpoets.org/burning_word.php
The Skagit River Poetry Festival returns this May 16 and 17. If you miss Ms. Clifton at SAL, she'll also be the headliner at the Skagit River festival, along with a terrific roster of local and national poets. It's definitely worth the drive to beautiful La Connor: www.skagitriverpoetry.org
