A serious topic today. You can look to see where the nearest concentration camp is from your home using this interactive map. (link below) The closest one from my town, Bellingham, Washington, is about 122 miles south in Tacoma. I am begining to feel like a citizen of Weimar, Germany in WW2, going about my day-to-day. Just out of view, a few miles away, heinous atrocities take place as casually as a person ordering a pumpkin spice latte.

2025 New Year Predictions
This morning, I was working on a new post when I found this old draft from December 2024. I enjoy a well-written yearly summary. So I’m hesitant to release a reckless draft. Why post it now? Well, why not?
October Corridor Zine Slaps!

Sept Corridor and Oct SSPF Crawl Welcome Fall
Sept Corridor is out in the world. Also, join us, Oct 1st, as we listen to poetry and migrate through four beloved hangouts in the Fountain District! At each venue, we’ll hear 30 minutes of poetry from a local journal or poetry group, then visit over drinks/snacks before moving on to the next stop.
The crawl will kick off at 5pm at Zeek’s Pizza (2416 Meridian St).

What a joyful project Corridor has become. Our distributors have been sharing stories about their interactions with poets and readers throughout our community. Connections are happening as copies are left in newspaper racks and community areas of coffee shops and restaurants.
