CADENCE VIDEO POETRY FESTIVAL

EST. 2018
NORTHWEST FILM FORUM

Verse meets visuals in motion


Cadence approaches video poetry as a literary genre presented as visual media that makes new meaning from the combination of text and moving image.

Founded and directed by myself and artist Rana San, Cadence is a series of screenings, workshops, and discussions on the genre of video poetry, taking place during National Poetry Month. Cadence is currently the only video poetry festival in the Pacific Northwest.

PERSONAL

A writer and curator exploring the liminal spaces of the literary arts. I am the author of two chapbooks and have fiction, reviews, and poetry published widely. My interest in how words can be experienced has led to solo work and collaborations to create installations, music performances, broadsides, karaoke, and video poetry. I founded and directed Till, a literary organization that offered an annual writing residency, and am currently co-director of Cadence Video Poetry Festival at Northwest Film Forum.
