Dear Han Shan
Poets:
A local artist in Langley named
Susan Falk has been inspired by McLellan Forest and by some of the poems of the
Han Shan poets to create a series of forest paintings in which she has embedded
phrases from selected forest poems. Unfortunately, Susan was able to work with
only 13 of the many excellent poems contributed to the initiative.
On Saturday May 11 from 12-3 pm at
The Fort Gallery in Fort Langley , Susan is having an art show
opening during which thirteen of the Han Shan poets will be reading their forest
poems.
You are most cordially invited to
attend this wine and cheese gala if you happen to live within a reasonable range
of the area. If not, I’m sure you will be with us in spirit.
Susan is conducting a silent auction
of her work whereby proceeds from the sale of the paintings will go to the
continuing work of WOLF (Watchers of Langley Forests) to ensure that the forest
is officially and permanently protected.
It would be a pleasure to see some
of you there to support our endeavour and your fellow poets. Perhaps there will
be future occasions where I am free to invite more of you to perform your work.
Please circulate the attached e-vite
widely to your friends and associates. It contains all the pertinent
information.
All the
best,
Susan McCaslin
