Poets Corner Reading Series

FINISHED! Next Poetry Reading on Wednesday April 17

One is Irish. The other has strong Irish connections. And that’s where the similarities end. Stylistically P.W. Bridgman and George McWhirter are oceans apart but both tap into a rich vein of poetic creativity.

Good friends who are also great poets made for an enjoyable evening at the March reading at Poets Corner.

Our Next Poetry Reading

Our reading in April will pair the Artistic Director of one of Canada’s most successful poetry series with a local talent whose star is rising faster than the CN Tower elevator. Daniel G. Scott and Chelsea Comeau are arriving on a Spring breeze and bringing with them some oh-so-powerful poetry. Here are the bio’s of April’s duo…
