The Edmonton Poetry Festival

Poetry on Planet Earth
Saturday April 25 2009 · 8:00pm
The Artery · 9535 Jasper Avenue

It’s a variety show featuring a whole world of poetry. Performances include multimedia ‘planet’ poems from Catherine Owen (bio), rap from Joseph Gurba, Franco-Albertan Pierrette Requier, Aboriginal writer Gregory Scofield, Canada’s ‘war’ poet Suzanne M. Steele (bio), Vancouver’s Elizabeth Bachinsky, Victoria’s Barbara Pelman, and blues-music-poet C.R. Avery to rock us to the end.

This event will be hosted by Michael Gravel, and will feature the world-famous Raving Poets Band in house providing demonstrably awesome musical interludes and much literary brinkmanship.
