Calgary Stroll of Poets. CCC member and co-coordinator of this event, Joy Middlestead, will be reading some of her poetry. We'll go see her and some other poets of Joy's choice (since she knows the good stuff) at various venues in Calgary.
Along with Dean Morrison, Liam Volke, Karen Gummo, Martin Sutcliffe, and Lori D. Roadhouse, Joy will be reading at the Kensington Pub, between 1:30 and 2:30PM. If you want to join us for the opening at Annie's, meet there at 11:45, otherwise join us at 1:15 at Kensington Pub. |

I have gone a couple (or more) times before with my mom (Joy) who reads in the Calgary Stroll of Poets nearly every year. She's quite talented, if I do say so myself. ;)
This year was the first time we brought some CCC folk with us and I hope they had as good a time as I did - it was a fantastic time. We started off at Annie's and then went down to Kensington Pub, which is where Mom (Joy) read. Then a few of us went down to Second Cup for a bit more, but it is not a great venue for poetry with the loud cappucino machines competing with the poets for airtime. Here is one of Joy's poems (one of my favorites): Pink When choosing the paint for my house I picture quiet pink but on the walls it speaks in a loud strident voice: A female lives here alone Not so long ago and not alone I wasn't allowed to paint the insides of the cupboards white He insisted on pale shit-brindle brown The siding on my house is pink and the rosebush by my front step seethes with pink blossoms -- Joyce (Joy) Middlestead |
