Nature celebrated in Poetry Reading
Elizabeth Cunningham presents her poetry collection Look to this Day, Poems for Doris McCarthy in this reading, which is accompanied by a digital presentation of many of the beautiful images reproduced in the book: the paintings of celebrated Canadian landscape painter Doris McCarthy, which served to inspire Elizabeth’s poems, as has the life of McCarthy itself. The event does double duty, celebrating National Poetry Month and Nelson’s celebration of Earth Week. It promises to be an irresistible combination for anyone who loves poetry, art, and the wild natural world around us.
Radio Free Kaslo, March 29, 2024
Easter is upon us.
Then it's April — which is, of course, as any civilized person knows, National Poetry Month!
To celebrate, an evening with five outstanding poets is being held on Saturday, April 13, at the Silverton Memorial Hall, at 8 PM — nothing in this life is free, with the exception, apparently of poetry — there is NO CHARGE for this fascinating gig!
On this episode, poetry by three of the poets who will be in attendance in Silverton on April 13 — Slocan Valley authors and poets Tom Wayman, Sean Arthur Joyce, and Keith Liggett are featured.
