The mission of the Washington Poets Association is to serve and inspire individuals and communities across the state by supporting the creation, presentation and appreciation of poetry through events, publications, recognition and education.

Burning Word is Back!

The Festival of Poetic Fire will reignite in a new location with the help of the Icicle Creek Music Center and Burning Word Director Michael Schein.
