The Olive Reading Series is back for another Edmonton Poetry Festival to host the Writers’ Guild of Alberta’s Horizon Writers Circle!
This evening will feature Carley Lizotte and Marianela Juana Adasme. Thank you to the League of Canadian Poets for supporting this event.
The Olive Reading Series is the longest-running, off-campus, out-of-bookstore, poetry series in Edmonton, now nested at the Rooster Kitchen & Bar on the second Wednesday of every month from September to April. A collectively-run non-profit, it has been in existence for nearly two decades, providing an important haunt, memorable evenings, and collectable chapbooks for writing students, open stage performers, local and touring writers–both emerging and well-established–and for you, their audiences!
Free
No RSVP required.
