We would first like to acknowledge that our gathering place sits on the unceded lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, specifically the shared traditional territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), Tsleil-Waututh, and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) First Nations.
After a looonng hiatus due to COVID protocols, we have now officially transitioned from our virtual Zoom haunt to a hybrid location at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Yaletown — hooray! We bring our readings to you on the third Wednesday of every month both in person , and by Zoom if you are unable to attend in person. Please join us!
Fairleigh Dickinson University is the new home for Poets Corner. Located in the 800-block of Cambie Street between Robson and Smithe, the Vancouver campus of FDU is one of two international campuses of a nearly 80-year-old private university in New Jersey. The other international campus is in Oxfordshire, England.
We gather in a wonderfully intimate auditorium with raked seating for about 50. Completely wheelchair accessible, the auditorium comes equipped with a lectern, overhead projector and screen, dimmable lighting, and washrooms immediately adjacent to the room’s entrance.
How to get there
It’s an eight-minute walk from Yaletown-Roundhouse Canada Line station and a seven-minute walk from Stadium-Chinatown Skytrain station. The closest public parking is a three-minute walk from the parkade below the main branch of the Vancouver Public Library. The other good news is we are still able to meet on our regular third Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm. And please join us by Zoom if you can’t join in person! 🙂
