Bring 3 or 4 poems to read.
The Living Room is designed for new, emerging, and
established poets to come together in a sense of poetic community to share
their work. Each poet will have opportunities to read original work of a
maximum of 3 minutes. We will go around the circle without critique in the
celebration of sharing. Each reading will have a host who will keep the group
within these guidelines. Listeners are welcome.
The Living Room was initially conceived at the Taos
Poetry Circus by Amalio Madueno and
established as a regular event in Seattle by Paul Nelson of SPLAB, The Seattle
Poetry Lab. The Living Room was a part of the Cascadia Poetry Festival in
Nanaimo April 30 to May 3, 2015 where participation was 31, 42 and 52 poets at
the Living Room circle held at the Nanaimo Museum as a special event of the
festival. Come out to the Vancouver
Regional Library North Branch and continue the tradition.
