NOVEMBER
Sunday, November 2nd, I will be reading in Victoria at the James Bay Inn, as previously announced in the Up in Ontario blog.
The reading is described in the following way by its excellent organizers:
Sundays at the JBI is a weekly reading series that brings spoken word (poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, script) to the relaxed environment of the James Bay Inn Pub in Victoria, BC. Organized within three-week cycles, the series hosts two consecutive Sundays featuring three invited readers, reading 20 minutes each with a short intermission between readings. The third Sunday in the cycle hosts an Open Mic and Poetry Slam. The series was launched by Roy McFarlane in September of 1999 and quickly became a success with both writers and audiences. The series now boasts a list of over 200 past feature readers. After the disappearance and accidental death of Roy McFarlane in May 2001 friends and supporters of Sundays at the JBI kept the series going. Jill Margo is now honoured to be producing the series and carrying on with the work that Roy was so truly passionate about.
The event is open and free and everyone is not only welcome, but heartily encouraged, to come. Full information about the reading and a map to the James Bay Inn can be obtained on the Sundays at the JBI website.
