Come join us on Valentine’s Day 2026 for a celebration of love, life, and the pursuit of happiness. Fourteen stellar poets from around the Salish Sea and beyond will read two poems each — one love poem of their own and a love poem by a poet they love. The poetry extravaganza will include Lisbeth White, Tamarah Rockwood, Thena Westfall, Samantha Salazar, Catalina Cantú, Eric Greenwell, Sati Mookerjee, Abby E. Murray, and Nanya Jhingran, among others. Sweets for the sweet. Sugar for your honey.
