Seattle 15, or Extra, Extra, Read All About It!

Actually, I mean read it over here.

Karen Finneyfrock - a keystone of the Seattle poetry scene, she's the one whose blog I wrote for. Check out the link!














Maya Hersh and Ela Barton; an iconic picture of Seattle Slam's cutest couple. Maya made the team!















Jack McCarthy, grandfather in the scene; has propensity for doing poems about sex in ways that are funny, insightful, tender and only appropriate because he's old and can get away with such lecherous comments. Deliberately lost the Grand Slam because he didn't want to be on the team; he just wanted the chance to toast an old poet friend from the stage.
