Lunch Poems at SFU connects the city with poets—it’s a great place to bring your lunch and your questions about poetry. There’s always a Q & A after the reading.
The light in the Teck Gallery at SFU’s Vancouver Campus is beautiful, the vibe is friendly and relaxed.
And we always end on time.
Great news about funding for Surrey’s Poet Laureate program—A great article from Tom Zillich at the Surrey Now Leader:
With funding in place, program co-ordinators plan to put out a call for applications for a new Poet Laureate later this spring, with the chosen candidate to start work this fall.
Saklikar, who will be involved in the selection process, told the Now-Leader it was an ‘amazing opportunity to be the first ever Poet Laureate for this thriving, diverse city.’
On April 2, Saklikar marked her first day as writer-in-residence for Surrey English Teachers Association, a role that involves doing poetry workshops across the school district.”
