In honour of National Poetry Month, the Writers’ Community of Simcoe County (WCSC) is featuring writer Barrie Dempster at their Apr. 21 meeting. Barrie’s topic is Giving the Muse Office Hours. He’ll discuss a variety of ways of going deeper into the writing and appreciation of poetry.
Barrie has published 16 books and been nominated twice for the Governor General’s Award. His collection, The Burning Alphabet, won the Canadian Authors’ Association Chalmers Award for Poetry in 2005. He is also Acquisitions Editor for Brick Books. Brick Books is a small, London Ont. publisher that deals exclusively in poetry. They have been in operation for nearly 40 years.
WCSC meets on the third Sunday of the month (Apr. 21 this month) from 11:30a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Lions Gate Banquet Hall, 386 Blake St. in Barrie.
Cost for non-members is $25. Here is the link for Brunch information and to register: http://simcoewriters.ca/simcoe/lunch-reservation/
