Skagit Poetry Festival with Norman Fischer

Guiding teacher Norman Fischer (with his poet's blazer on) will be presenting at the Friday afternoon/evening session of this year's Skagit River Poetry festival. There are additional programs, including with poetry Naomi Shihab Nye, on Saturday. See their website for details. We're pulled out the information and registration link for the Friday session with Norman here.

After the students leave, the Festival opens at 2:30 to the general public with:

A Poetry Sampler with Kasey Jueds, Paul Hansen and Norman Fischer

And two panel discussions:

1. Poet as Social Conscience with Garth Martens, Lorna Dee Cervantes and Jan Zwicky
2. How Poetry Helps Us Live our Lives with poets Daemond Arrindell, Martha Silano and Garrett Hongo.

At 7:30: A Gathering of Voices. One Poem. Two Minutes

All festival poets read one poem. A great introduction into the sessions for Saturday. If you can’t do a full day, this is the perfect Sampler for you!
