Inside the issue:

• Meet Washington State’s current poet laureate, Rena Priest. Not only is se an American Book Award-winning masterful wordsmith, she’s incredibly in demand. Jeff Braimes caught up with in her hometown of Bellingham to get the scoop on what it takes to be worthy of the title of her poet laureateship.

• Citizen Raja knew he wanted to be an artist as a kid, but it wasn’t until he met a collage artist in London that he really caught his stride. His work evokes a street art style that provides thoughtful commentary on current social and political issues, and does that beautifully with re-purposed clippings from books and magazines.

• Matt and Heimana Reynolds represent a lot to the people that know and love them. They inspire and motivate kids with their incredible skateboarding school and board shop on the island of O’ahu. Heimana is the #1 ranked park skater in the world and just got back from the Tokyo Olympics. But the best thing about them is how they demonstrate how hard work, respect, love for family, and positivity can help you achieve almost anything you put your mind to.

• From his beginnings as a kid who loved to play piano, to becoming an award-winning film and television composer, the story of Mateo Messina’s life is an impressive example of how passion, hard work, and determination can lead to great things. But it’s his journey as the creator of over 20 fundraising symphonies that have raised millions of dollars to aid families who are faced with the inconceivable challenge of dealing with pediatric cancer, that makes his story truly exceptional.

• You’ll also find our usual menagerie of columns including a contribution from our first youth writing scholarship recipient, a guest playlist designed to help you focus and chill, another entry in the PMA book club series, and a ton of tremendous art to inspire and enthrall you.
