If you are a poet or an appreciator of poetry, the Parkland Poets' Society Readings are for you! Each meeting features three poets who have signed up in advance to deliver an 8 to 10 minute reading. The featured readers for this event are Kathy Fisher, Jill Armstrong, and Sheelagh Caygill, with Kim Mannix hosting.
Following the featured readers, there will be an open mic session, where audience members can sign up (on the night itself, no need to register in advance) to deliver a brief 2 to 4-minute reading.
This event is Online via Zoom. The call will open at 6:45pm on April 9th, and the poetry will begin at 7:00pm.
