Auguries Celebrated During National Poetry Month

The theme for National Poetry Month 2019 is “Celebrate nature with poetry”. Clea’s collection, Auguries, is included on a reading list posted by the League of Canadian Poets on 49thshelf.com to “spotlight some outstanding Canadian poetry collections that tackle the broad theme of nature out of love, curiosity, and necessity. These collections explore the ways that nature informs our everyday lives and creates our material conditions. They focus on science, environmentalism, anti-colonial activism, field studies, body politics, and appreciation for the natural world—however we have access to it in our everyday lives. From a fire tower in Alberta, to a carpenter’s site, to the great Canadian North, these collections and poets help paint a complex picture of Canada’s, and the wider world’s, varied natural surroundings.” Thanks League of Canadian Poets and 49thshelf.com!

Poetry and Grief Workshops

Join Clea and Hospice volunteer Debbie Abbott for a writing workshop where you can express and explore a loss you are grieving through poetry.

No previous experience writing poetry is needed, but participants should have an interest in using poetry as a way to express emotions or mark important life events.

This is not a support group, but an opportunity to learn how to use poetry to navigate grief. Space is limited, please phone Hospice Yukon to register.

Thursdays May 9, 16 and 23

7:00 - 8:30 pm Hospice Yukon, 409 Jarvis St.

To register phone 667-7429
