Last Sunday, we brought you the debut of a Featured Poet. This Sunday, we’re doing the same. So come on out for the last Poetic Justice reading of 2015 and witness the inaugural reading from another of our Featured Poets. Both these poets have been churning the cream to make buttered poetry the likes of which you’ve never heard before.
Featured Poets: Annette LeBox (Debut!) and Cassandra Metcalfe
Host: Candice James, Poet Laureate of New Westminster
