In mid-July, The Ontario Poetry Society (of which I recently became a member!) is hosting an open-mic at Biblioasis Bookshop in Walkerville. Join us for this free event on Sunday, July 13 from 1 pm to 4 pm to share in spoken word, food, and the chance to win new books!

I’ll be reading some new poems I’ve been generating this summer.

If you’re a poet and you’d like to participate, you don’t have to be a member of the Society to be included. Email Vanessa Shields for inclusion at shieldsvanessa@gmail.com.
