Olshen. Also featured are classical pianist and poet, Sue Chenette; and adult literacy worker, Guy Ewing, who recently completed his first full-length poetry manuscript.
Hosting the event will be Steven Michael Berzensky (Mick Burrs), who co-edited the significant book with Allan Briesmaster.
Thanks for the Crossing Lines reading. I hadn’t managed to get to any of the earlier ones, and I thought it was a great evening. It’s not often I’ve heard six readers, none of whom disappointed. All six were fine readers and the work passionate and moving.
