An Evening of Poetry with Maddy

Please join us for an evening of poetry read by a gathering of surprise guests and impromptu orators. You are warmly invited to attend and listen and/or to read a poem yourself, written by you or someone else. Poems can be on any theme, in any language. The honoraria for this event will go to the Native Women's Shelter of Montreal. 

If you are inspired to read a poem, please contact Maddy by emailing conversationsincontemporaryart@gmail.com. There will be specific time set aside for those who are moved to read a poem at the event, regardless of prior notification to Maddy.

How can you participate? Register for the Zoom webinar or watch live on our Facebook.
