Our warm neighbourhood gathering of word-lovers returns November 28 to celebrate National Photography Day with inspirational poems about art and invention, about the practice of poetry—Ars Poetica—or poems inspired by art, painting or photography (ekphrastic). 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 featuring songs, stories, poems, and prose inspired by a rotating theme. Whether you'd like to share a favourite piece or join us as a listener, all are warmly welcome.
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.
