Calling all fans of haiku, limericks, sestinas, villanelles, and quatrains! The Bigfoot Poetry Festival will return this year with four days of free spoken word performances, poetry slams, open mics, workshops, and a "poetry market." The fest will pop up at locations across the west side, including Powell's Books, Literary Arts, the Woodlark Hotel, and Multnomah County Central Library. I'm stoked for the guided meditation and journaling sessions, the mental health mic, and intriguingly titled workshops like “Catharsis and Revenge Poetry” and “Chaos As Craft."
