Join us to celebrate our interactive digital archive of poets, the Poets Caravan!
The evening will be co-hosted Zoe Dickinso and Daniel Scott, our AD emeritus and a huge driving force behind the Poets Caravan project.
This promises to be a very special celebration, with readings from 28 of the 55 poets featured in the Caravan, including: Marlene Grand Maître, Richard Osler, Rhona McAdam, Jeremy Loveday, Yvonne Blomer, Kate Braid, Rhonda Ganz, Terese Svoboda, Ali Blythe, Cynthia Woodman Kerkham, Garth Martens, Gisela Ruebsaat, Pamela Porter, Wendy Donawa, Leanne Boschman, Anne Hopkinson, Sharon Lee, Daniel Scott, Stephen T Berg, Kyeren Regehr, Marie Metaphor Specht, John Barton, Marilyn Bowering, Christine Smart, Tina Biello, Kelsey Andrews, Andrea Raine, and Linda K Thompson.
We’ll be at Russell Books (747 Fort St) as usual, doors open at 7:00, event begins at 7:30.
Refreshments, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and sweet treats, will be provided at no charge (but we encourage you to bring a little extra cash to throw in our donation basket to help cover the costs). You might also want to bring a little cash to buy books from the poets, who have been invited to bring copies to sell.
