March Castalia
Let's usher Spring in with style at the March Castalia Reading! We have a scintillating line-up for Tuesday, March 6th, beginning with the bright and promising second year prose writers Valerie Arvidson and Cecilia Kiely.
Prepare for more than a mere smattering of alumni, as we are excited to feature:
Sarah Erickson ('09 Poetry, '10 Prose), who has a penchant for the sensual and mystical.
Prose alum Zachary Watterson, a Pushcart Prize nominee and the recipient of multiple scholarships to the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, who has been published in The Massachusetts Review, The Stranger, Sendero, Salt River Review, and Struggle, among others.
And Poet Kevin Craft, who received his MFA in 1995. He is the current editor of Poetry Northwest and has had work appear in Poetry, VERSE, AGNI, and Poetry Daily. Kevin has received fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, the Bogliasco Foundation, the Camargo Foundation, and the Artist Trust of Washington State. His collection Solar Prominence was published in 2005.

February Recap
February Castalia was a lovely affair. The full moon that fateful night brought out everyone's best imaginations. First year poet Jay Yencich wowed us by demonstrating that one can use the word tesseract in a poem. Second year Katherine Eulensen shared some poems about soil, water, sky and grape, and fellow second year poet Erika Wilder embraced her cards, reading some tarot-inspired poems. After the break, second year prose writer Piper Daniels shared a moving selection from her collage work. Alum Emily Beyer gifted us with poems via spoken word and song, and UW's own David Shields shared a compressed mashup from his book "The Thing About Life is One Day You'll Be Dead."
