If you're a poet, the place to be this weekend, October 8-10, is in Tieton, at LiTFUSE! 

Located near Yakima in eastern Washington, LitFUSE is an annual weekend-long poets’ workshop open to poets of all ages, abilities, and styles. You can learn more here! (And, if you're coming from the west side, on the way back you can enjoy gorgeous views of Mt. Rainier.)

LiTFUSE, led by poet and novelist Michael Schein, and featuring this year such poets as Ingrid Wendt, Lorraine Healy, and others, is one of those rare, magical workshops that help writers find the duende in their work: new ways of thinking about existing or new poems.
