WORD Vancouver Literary Festival

Thursdays Writing Collective will have a table at WORD Festival at Library Square on Sept 29, 2013, Sunday, 11-4pm staffed by participants where you can ask questions, buy books and see what we are up to.

Last year we made connections with several writers who joined us for The Stanza Project and now appear in the book. Thank you to SFU’s Writing and Publishing Program for supporting our presence!

 

Thursday, Sep 26 is a day of events at Carnegie Community Centre at Main and Hastings for DTES residents.

1:00 pm to 2:00 pm Need your Handwritten Work typed? Come to the Type-Up!

2:00 pm to 6:00 pm Chapbook-Making Workshop with Heidi Greco
Carnegie Theatre

7:00 pm to 9:00 pm DTES Poets Open Mic Poetry night with host Diane Wood

Please note that workshops at Carnegie Centre will be on a “first come, first served” basis. Registration sheets will be available in the office at Carnegie Community Centre starting September 1, 2013.

 

Also, several Stanza Project authors have poems in the Automated Poetry Vending Machine, which is a sort of $1 gumball-machine for verse.

 

V6A authors Henry Doyle and My Name is Scot will read from the book on the CUPE Stage at 11:15am as the invited guests of CUPE 391 Library Workers. Make sure to catch them. Thanks to the Local for the opportunity!

We hope to see you!
