Seated in a circle, each participant reads a single poem, in turn – no introduction or commentary, just the poem. At the end, we take a few breaths in silence to absorb and integrate the words and emotions shared. Then the next reader speaks.

You are invited to bring one poem (by you or someone else) to read. Poems can be any subject, form, or focus. The guiding spirit is communal listening, as each voice speaks into the room’s still space. Doors are at 10:30am and the reading starts at 11:00am.

This event is limited to 25 readers. If you would like to read your poem, email poetry@prairievixenpress.ca with the subject line “Poetry & Stillness Reader”.

Please Note: This venue is not wheelchair accessible.
