Poetry Cabaret
with Amanda Earl, Christine McNair and Sandra Ridley
Hosted by David Currie
“Ridley’s vision from the outset is bent toward empathy and compassion... Here is hope and challenge: not for a world wherein violence never was, but for a world in which we choose to end it; not for pacification, but for peace.”
Following quickly on the heels of the Poets Laureate reading and the John Newlove Poetry Awards, we are pleased to present three giants of Ottawa's poetry community: Our Poetry Cavalcade continues with readings from Amanda Earl, Christine McNair and Sandra Ridley.
We are pleased to celebrate the poetic arts and demonstrate what makes Canadian poetry matter. and could not have asked for a better crescendo to an already powerhouse evening of poetry.
For thos unable to attend in person, the event will livestream from this page.
Books are available from our friends at Perfect Books.
