Kevin Spenst’s Jabbering with BC
April 25, 2015
How many poets does it take to run riot over the city of Vancouver? Thirteen and that’s no joke! Yes, on April 25th to celebrate poetry month, poets of all serious stripes and extemporaneous styles will be cycling, running, dancing, transiting and making their way through ten different venues in the city. These award-winning authors will read their work at an artist’s house, six galleries (the Equinox, Monte Clark, Grunt, Hot Art Wet City, the Or Bookstore and Satellite Gallery), a Korean rice burger shop – Kobob Burger, the Vancouver Public Library and the Paper Hound Bookshop. That’s right! Jennifer Zilm, Shazia Hafiz Ramji, Shannon Rayne, Jordan Abel, Mariner Janes, Matea Kulic, Ray Hsu, Raoul Fernandes, Elena Johnson, Margaret Bollerup, Ben Rawluk, Kevin Spenst and Bren Simmers will be reading their poetry with audiences young and old, suspecting and unsuspecting, poetry-loving or hating. We’re set the win the city over to the powers of poetry for our second annual poetry marathon.
