POETS READING

DAPHNE MARLATT has eight books to her credit including Steveston
and Steveston Recollected. Born in Malaysia and raised in North
Vancouver, Daphne was associated with the TISH group of poets in
Vancouver during the early sixties and has since won wide
recognition for her considerable talent.

 

GEORGE BOWERING says, ''The true work of poetry ... is to intensify life.'!
And so he does with rich variety. Baseball, modern politics and love
have all been subjects for his talent which reflects a wide range of
interest.

KEN MITCHELL has been called a one-man literary explosion whose poems,
plays, novels (notably Wandering Rafferty, 1972) and short stories
have spread his name far beyond the borders of his native
Saskatchewan. The planned national tour of his ''country opera",
Cruel Tears, seems likely to make 1977 the year of Ken Mitchell.

ARTIE GOLD, from Montreal, is a surrealist poet whose three books
(so far) offer some of the most outrageous and/or beautiful
moments in contemporary Canadian verse. Artie can be funny or
lyrical, vulgar or blasphemous, but what continues to amaze his
readers is the natural, relaxed, almost conversational quality
of his songs.

PATRICK LANE writes with astounding power of music and image,
unforgettable once heard. A native of B.C., Pat is author of such
titles as Letters from the Savage Mind, Mountain Oysters,

Highway 401, A Rhapsody and most recently, Albino Pheasants.

BRIAN FAWCETT was born and raised in Price George, B.C. and his poetry
and stories deal extensively with the problems of love and community
in our society. Brian lives in Vancouver and edits the important
poetry magazine N.M.F.G. -- ''No Money From the Government''.

 

FRED WAH teaches at Selkirk College in Castlegar. He was one of the
original editors of TISH and later studied at S.U.N.Y. at Buffalo
with the late and great American poet Charles Olson. Fred's most
recent book is Pictograms from the Interior of B.C.
