Promoting Poetry in Whatcom County since 2007
Help Make Poetry Possible!
As a volunteer-run nonprofit, we depend on folks from Whatcom County and beyond to support our efforts. Big or small, your contribution will help us offer inspiration and awards to authors of all ages through the Sue C. Boynton Contest and provide free community events like the Salish Sea Poetry Festival and our seasonal Poetry Pop-Ups.
The Whatcom Poetry Series is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and donations to this organization, and its subsidiary programs, are tax deductible.
We're here for poetry... and for you!
The Whatcom Poetry Series funds the following community programs:
The Sue C. Boynton Contest, an all-ages competition that showcases winning poems on busses, downtown placards, in locally-illustrated anthologies, and at an annual awards reading.
Salish Sea Poetry, a Whatcom County poetry group that organizes events throughout the year, culminating in a three day festival every November.
