Spokane Poet Laureate, Chris Cook, in association with Spokane Arts is compiling poetry about Spokane and its many diverse neighborhoods. Having lived in the Cliff-Cannon neighborhood for nearly two years while I was a grad student at Eastern Washington University, I thought I might contribute something to this wonderful expression of community. Spokane will always hold a special place in my heart. What makes this project especially great is the wide variety of poets found here, from third graders to condominium writing groups, it is a testament to the democratic capacity of writing poetry.
