POETRY CABARET featuring Pearl Pirie, Gillian Sze and Lorna Crozier
Hosted by Sandra Ridley
Crozier writes of a world of imperfection, clumsiness, violence, betrayal, pain, and in spite of everything, delight and love – Always accessible, Crozier speaks a language we understand, but she uses it to tell us of things we don't.
Celebrate Canadian poetry with voices from Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. Pearl Pirie’s been shed bore moves at the speed of sound, slipping up against silence. Taking off from the myth of human creation, Gillian Sze’s The Anatomy of Clay explores the individual as a sentient mystery. Lorna Crozier, one of Canada’s most celebrated poets, shares prose from Small Beneath the Sky, a tender, unsparing portrait of a family and a place and poetry from Small Mechanics.
