POETRY FESTIVAL
Since 1998, the Skagit River Poetry Foundation facilitates teacher/poet collaborations to help build literacy skills in our classrooms. Students find their voice through poetry.
POETS IN SCHOOLS
Poets Change Kid’s Lives
“It [poetry] opens my mind and lets me express myself wholly.” – student quote
POETS’ CORNER
A Pulitzer Prize winning poet reads a student’s poem and then exclaims to the audience: “I wish I had written that!” Magic happens.
The Skagit River Poetry Foundation acknowledges that we host poets and hold activities on the ancestral lands of Upper and Lower Skagit, Swinomish, and Samish Nations. We honor and join them in their continued stewardship so this Place and People continue to flourish.
