Poetry Northwest was founded in 1959 at the University of Washington in Seattle by Carolyn Kizer, who would later win the Pulitzer Prize for poetry. The journal published continuously until 2002, was revived in 2007, and is now based at Everett Community College, continuing its mission of publishing outstanding poetry from the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
The journal's editorial sensibility reflects its regional roots — a sensitivity to landscape, weather, and the particular quality of light that defines the American Northwest — while maintaining a reach that is thoroughly national and international. Over six decades, it has published work by some of the most important poets in the English language and remains a vital venue for new voices in American verse.
