from Olympia Poetry Network with minor edits and hyperlinking

Kathleen Flenniken began as a civil engineer and hydrologist, then added the skills of a poet and began to teach creative writing. She was born in Richland and worked on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, but is now a poet, teacher and co-editor and president of Floating Bridge Press, which is dedicated to publishing Washington State poets. Her poems have appeared in Poetry, The Iowa Review, The Southern Review, Mid-American Review, Farm Pulp, , and Poetry Daily. Her first collection, Famous (2006, University of Nebraska Press) won the 2005 Prairie Schooner Prize. As always, the 45 minutes is an open mic for the Oly Poetry community to share.

Does Oly have an OPP night?

OPP stands for Other People's Poetry. Poetry is more fun to read when
it's written by people way more talented than you. See why at
Brooklyn's premiere night for drunk declaiming of verse. From the
ridiculous to sublime, it's all poetry, no slamming. Plenty of
collections will be on hand, but you can also bring favorites to
share.


Monday, February 26th
8-10 PM
