One of the top journals in Cascadia is branching out and needs your support. I am awed by the depth of this journal and their latest, a tribute to George Bowering is stunning. A must-have for anyone serious about poetry in this bioregion and beyond. Quite compelling and very helpful to see how this man went about making himself a world-class poet.
