Hello poets of Canmore and beyond.
If you have signed up to perform at the event, here is a bit more information:
- The event is on the evening of Thursday, June 24
- We're hosting it virtually, on Zoom
- Each performer will be invited to read 1 or 2 poems for a total of four minutes
- We will host breakout rooms for cocktails and mingling at the beginning, intermission, and end
- There will also be a chance for the audience to participate in a fun and unique way (if they want!)
- We ask that performers submit their poems beforehand so we can curate the order into sections that we’re calling “chapters”
- Everyone will have the chance to introduce themselves and their work quickly before reading
- Tickets to watch the event will be free, though donations are welcome. So tell all your friends and family!
This is an excellent opportunity for us all to reconnect with our community and share in our love for words and togetherness.
