POETRY READING

As part of the month-long Ian Thomas Exhibition, join us for a night of Poets for Poetry. Our Salt Spring poets will read and talk about work from their choice of one of Ian’s favourite poets and end with a piece of their own writing.

MC’d by Murray Reiss.

Diana Hayes — Pablo Neruda

Sandi Johnson — Osip Mandelstam

Shirley Graham — Dylan Thomas

Brian Day — Gerard Manley Hopkins

Mona Fertig — Anne Carson

Murray Reiss — Federico Garcia Lorca

The evening will start with Ian speaking about the project, giving some context to his work. We’ll end with a reading a poem of Brian Brett’s and Diana reading one by Phyllis Webb. There will be cookies & tea after the reading and people will be invited to linger and learn.
