Our warm neighbourhood gathering of word-lovers returns September 26, our theme this month is Labour! This might mean physical work, the labour of speaking truth, or the effort involved in seeking reconciliation. It could also reflect the transition back to school or work after the slower, more carefree days of summer. Let your poetic minds wander along the many paths of labour.
Come and share a favourite song, poem, or short tale of 3-5 minutes written by someone other than yourself. Or just come to listen and enjoy! After Hours is a monthly neighbourhood coffeehouse with songs, stories, poems and prose on a rotating theme. All are welcome to listen or join in.
Note: this is not a literary open mic. Though local authors do participate, we are all readers sharing work we enjoy and admire. We meet on the third (sometimes fourth) Saturday of most months at 1:30 pm at Churchmouse Bookshop in St Mary’s, Oak Bay, 1701 Elgin Rd., and are hosted by Cynthia Woodman Kerkham and Yvonne Blomer.
