Fault Lines Poetry Journal

From Eileen Walsh Duncan:

Hello Paul,
Tony Pfannensteil, a Portland poet, founded Fault Lines Poetry Journal and
placed a call for submissions in fall 2011. I and many other poets along
the Cacasdia Fault Line were intrigued by the energy and passion in his
vision for the journal and call for submissions. And it sounded just plain
fun to get involved in the journal. Several of the poets involved recommend
that I contact you regarding potential inclusion in your communiques.
The Puget Sound is represented in the issue by about 15 poets and we are
planning a reading at Hugo House on July 29 at 3 PM. Readings in other
cities along the Cascadia Fault Line are taking placing throughout the
summer, beginning June 10. In addition Portland has set up “poetry boxes”
much like those that contain house sales information — but contain poems
from the journal instead.
Here is the basic information for you to edit and include in your
communications about upcoming arts events:

“In the year 1700, an earthquake shook the Cascadia Fault Line Zone. From
San Francisco to Vancouver, BC, the force was felt all along the Pacific
Ring of Fire.
Today, over 300 years later, forces are again becoming unleashed, forces
that will move your heart, split your brain, and rearrange your
preconceived notions about poetry and the possibilities it presents to
dramatically affect the human spirit.
Fault Lines Poetry will create upheavals.The meticulously crafted world of what a poem should be will implode, opening fissures deep within your psyche. The poems published in Fault Lines will gather their cataclysmic energy and wash over you, the way a tsunami wave moves over the shore and transforms.”
