Poetry reading starts at 7pm
Free and open to the public, cash and check donations accepted at the door.
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 Eric Greenwell, Nanya Jhingran, Sati Mookherjee, Abby E. Murray, Tamarah Rockwood, Samantha Salazar, Thena Westfall, and Lisbeth White, among others. Sweets for the sweet. Sugar for your honey.
