The World Poetry Enviro-Poetry Project.
Come write a poem or put an Enviro-suggestion in the amazing suggestion box created by Montana King!
The World Poetry Reading Series is celebrating their 7th anniversary at the Vancouver Public Library (our gracious hosts and partners) with a month long display of environmental poems in the Vancouver Public Library, 350 West Georgia St, Vancouver, BC in the literature section from February 1-29th. The poems on display are from Vancouver, across Canada and around the world. They include poems by the Poet Laureate of Vancouver, George McWhirter, Linda Rogers and World Poetry Lifetime Achievement Award Winner 2008, Bernice Lever among others. Most of the poems are in English but there are a number of bi-lingual poems, bringing a multi-cultural component to the display.
We hope to include selected poems in an Anthology!
There will be a Create an Enviro-poem table staffed by 17 World Poetry Volunteers who are all poets and writers. The poems that are written by the public will be featured at the 7th World Poetry Gala, February 29th, 7:00 pm, at the Alice McKaye Room at the Vancouver Public Library.
An Enviro-suggestion box will also be at the table so that the library patrons can put in suggestions on how to help the environment.
Selected tips will be read on The World Poetry Café Radio Show every Tuesday on CFRO, 102.7 FM.
