Celebrating poetry that resonates across borders temporal & spatial:

Published in the Spring of this year, Crossing Lines is the first major anthology of poetry by men and women who grew up in the U.S. and then emigrated to Canada during the Vietnam War era (1965-75). It offers surprising insights into this watershed period and explores provocative themes related to our own time. 76 poets are represented who have made, and continue to make, significant contributions to Canadian culture and society.

livewords – coming back as summer wanes

Posted on by

livewords has been on holiday! After our last show at the Concord Café in July we’ve been hiding between the summer raindrops. Lovely. Perhaps it’s because we needed the respite. Perhaps it’s because the Northwest passage is now, if still but for a brief time, a naviagable waterway free of pesky ice sheets. Perhaps it’s because running a reading series is exhausting. The explanation matters not. Nor the complaint. In ‘truth’ we are re-emerging into the almost fall light with a well-nurtured if modest exuberance.

Our relaunch is tentatively scheduled for October 29th – program & details to follow.

Stay tuned . . .

PS We’ll be posting or archive material as we go to set the future correctly in the context of it’s past.
