Ellensburg Poetry Prowl
Victor and I travelled out to the Ellensburg Poetry Prowl in support of our authors, Melinda Mueller and Maya Jewell Zeller. They were on the same panel, “Strange Alchemy: When Women Collaborate”, which also included other Northwest poets Katharine Whitcomb, Elizabeth Vignali, and Kami Westhoff. I would have loved more time in this session to listen to conversation between the women. Alas, while this has got to be one of the fiercest and most time-conscious festivals I have been it, which I appreciate, the sessions all had a lot of readers, and so there was not much time to really absorb any one reader.
I enjoyed hearing Robert Lashley very much and such a treat to spend any time at all at Dick & Jane’s Art Spot.
