The Raving Poets

Poison Ivy & Mistletoe Misfirings

Sunday, December 14th
@ The ARTery
9535 Jasper Avenue

Are there still ‘feminine’ or ‘masculine’ ways of identifying our writing? Does gender still bear literary relevance? Is Mommy still kissing Santa Claus underneath the mistletoe?

The space will be free from Noon – 5 pm for a book fair, representing a wide array of local journals, publishers, and small-to-even-smaller presses;

1-2 pm, join us for a presentation with guest speakers on our topic of discussion;

3-4 pm we hook up the microphone and open the floor so that you, the audience, can share your finest work!

7-10 pm a celebratory evening ensues with music and readings by noted celebrities, including: Michelle Boudreau, Thea Bowering, TL Cowan, ryan fitzpatrick, Jill Pollock, Jadon Rempel, and U of A Writer-in-Residence Lynn Coady
