47 The Vancouver 125 Poetry Cabaret – Evening 2

The Vancouver 125 Poetry Conference is back for another evening of music, poetry and excitement. This time we’ll be trading saxophones and experimentation for slide guitars and poetry that explores everything from pop culture to the magical places where “Neil Young eats a campfire then drinks a glass of tears on satellite radio.” This is an all-star lineup of some of the best poets writing today, featuring Griffin Prize nominees Ken Babstock and Suzanne Buffam, recent Governor General’s Award-nominee Melanie Siebert as well as Matthew Zapruder, David McGimpsey, Srikanth Reddy, Evelyn Lau, and Antonette Rea. With musical guest Rick Maddocks.

Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the door 45 minutes before the event begins.
