About
This event is celebrates the unveiling of Alberta’s first “bookmark” installation joining Project Bookmark Canada’s CanLit Trail. Each bookmark incorporates a piece of literature from a local author set in a particular Canadian place. The Calgary Bookmark will honour Rosemary Griebel’s poem, “Walking with Walt Whitman Through Calgary’s Eastside on a Winter Day” from her book, "Yes." and set in the city's historic and dynamic East Village. Come hear Rosemary read her poem and join in a guided write-your-own poetry walk.
