Word Vancouver and Read Local BC presents: Poetry Bus!
In partnership with TransLink and BC Transit, Read Local BC presents the launch of this year’s Poetry In Transit campaign at Word Vancouver. Now celebrating its 27th year, this beloved community-engagement project displays the work of ten BC poets on public transit vehicles throughout the province. Join in to hear featured poets Susan Braley, P.W. Bridgman, Edward Byrne, Megan Fennya Jones, Mark Leiren-Young, Emily Osborne, Kirsten Pendreigh, and Ian Thomas read from their work, followed by a short discussion and Q&A in which you can engage with the poets over your love of the written verse!
