About
Read Local BC, in partnership with TransLink and BC Transit, presents the launch of this year’s Poetry In Transit campaign at Word Vancouver.
Each year, this long-running project displays the work of ten BC poets on public transit vehicles throughout the province. Now in its 23rd year, this project is an opportunity to share these wonderful poems with the larger community.
Join us at 1:45 p.m. on Sunday, September 29 at Word Vancouver to hear five of the featured 2019/20 poets read from their latest work:
Michael Kenyon
Hilary Peach
Barbara Pelman
Pamela Porter
Marion Quednau
Hosted by poet Evelyn Lau. Free to attend. Event and festival details at www.wordvancouver.ca/poetry-stage
The Poetry Bus, on-site at Word Vancouver, will display this year’s poetry cards. Poet Kevin Spenst will be onboard the Poetry Bus from 11:30 – 1:30 facilitating a Create Your Own #PoetryInTransit activity.
CONTEST ALERT! Hop on board the Poetry Bus and share your #PoetryInTransit favourites on Twitter and Instagram to be entered to win one of three prize packages (contest details at www.poetryintransit.ca).
