Upcoming readings in Vancouver
I’m very excited to be heading to Vancouver in October for two great literary events! On October 5th, I’ll be reading at the Real Vancouver Writer’s Series at the Russian Hall, 600 Campbell Ave East at 7 pm. And on October 9th, I’ll be reading at the emerge launch. Emerge is an anthology of student work from the 2018 cohort of writers from Simon Fraser University’s The Writer’s Studio. Copies of the anthology will be for sale at the launch! Hope to see you there!
Upcoming Readings
Happy National Poetry Month! I’ll be giving a short reading tonight, April 8th to open the City of Dawson Council Meeting.
This Saturday, April 13th at 7 pm, I am so excited to be launching the Best New Poets in Canada anthology at Well-Read Books in Whitehorse, Yukon. My dear friend Joanna Lilley will be hosting, and there will be readings from Whitehorse writers Becca MacCulloch and Katie Zdybel, and music from Susu Robin. I’ll be reading a selection of work from my anthology-mates Sarah Kabamba and Georgia Wilder as well as my own poems. I really hope to see you there!
