Please join me for a poetry reading on the theme of “Art and Artists,” featuring Susan Glickman, John Reibetanz, and myself.
The reading assembles at 7pm on Sunday, June 8th, at The Free Times Cafe, 320 College St.
John Reibetanz has a new book responding to paintings, Everyday Light. Susan Glickman has interacted with visual art throughout her poetic career, including in Henry Moore’s Sheep (1990) and her most recent book, Cathedral Grove (2023), which contains sections of her own drawings and related poems. I have also written on the theme of art-and-poetry throughout my work, for instance in 1999’s Rest on the Flight into Egypt.
Emcee Allan Briestmaster will serve as the evening’s emcee, and he will begin the readings promptly at 7:30pm. There will be short intermissions between the readers, and a question-and-answer session at the end.
Seating in the Free Times event space is limited and the event seems to be garnering a good attendance, so it’s best to arrive by 7:00 to ensure seating. Should you wish to have supper before the event, be sure to make a reservation by phoning 416-967-1078.
Feel free to RSVP for the event via Facebook.
