WordsWest Literary SeriesThanks for five glorious years! From September 2014 to June 2019, WordsWest hosted monthly literary events on the third Wednesday of the month at C & P Coffee Company.
Our guests included some of the finest poets and writers in Seattle and the nation. Every event also featured a community member presenting a Favorite Poem. Below is an "exquisite corpse" poem assembled by the audience on June 19, 2019, from randomly selected lines by WordsWest authors (seasons 1 to 5). A framed version of this poem hangs on the walls of C & P Coffee Co. and the PDF file may be downloaded below. |
