Event Description

The Planet Earth Poetry reading series is a launching pad for the energies of writers and poets established and not. The evening begins at 7:30 with an open mic, followed by featured readers. Between 7 and 7:15, put your name in the hat to read at open mic.

Susan Alexander is the recipient of the 2017 Whistler Poet’s Pause Competition, 2016 Short Grain poetry prize and the 2015 Vancouver Writers’ Festival Contest. Her poems have appeared in chapbooks and journals including SubTerrain, Arc, CV2, Grain, Room, The Feathertale Review, In/Words, Crux, The Antigonish Review and PRISM International. The Dance Floor Tilts (Thistledown Press), is her debut collection of poems.

Barbara Pelman is a poet and a retired English teacher who has taught at high schools and universities. An occasional host and assistant at Planet Earth Poetry, she also teaches poetry workshops. The poems in Narrow Bridge, Barbara Pelman’s third collection, explore bridges both real and metaphoric: the bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden where her family lives, the bridges she has travelled across Europe, the ways in which we bridge our separateness of each other through words and actions. How can poetry create safe passages for the heart to travel across time and space? And how, as the wise ones say, can one travel the narrow bridge and not be afraid?
