EVENT a Cover-To-Cover Montage

Yu can’t judge a book by its
cover, it is said. But the
colourful montage on the cover of
the latest issue of Event: the
Douglas College Review, is an
apt representation of the bright
array of poetry and prose await-
ing the reader inside, and an
irresistible invitation to take a
glance at the contents of the
literary journal.

Inside, familiar and unfamiliar
names from as near as Maple
Ridge and Surrey and as far away
as Japan and Germany meet as
Event continues its mandate of ex-
cellence, regardless of past
publishing credits.

The 115-page volume is packed
with the best in poetry, short
stories and reviews by writers
ranging from first-time con-
tributors to "old hands" at the
writing craft. For readers, this
means exciting new discoveries
along with new works by old
favorites.

The overall high quality of the
writing is underscored by the in-
clusion of two stories by Carol
Shields, one of Canada’s top con-
temporary authors. Ms. Shields,
whose latest novel, Swann, was a
nominee for the recent Governor
General's Award in fiction,
visited Douglas College as writer-
in-residence early in February.

 

Event, Volume 17/Number 1 is
now available in bookstores
around the Lower Mainland, or

yearly publication by writing to:

MARILOU MEETS THE DRAGON

eee Medieval Bavarian town of Gellenburg is being harrassed by a
dragon. The burghermeister sends out a knight — the most expend-
able knight -- to fight the beast. Meanwhile, on the other side of the
mountain, Marilou lives with her mother and her little dog Mcgrufferty.
They go for a picnic and the dog runs off and takes them to the cave where
the dragon lives and....from here, says Douglas College Theatre instructor
Gwyneth Harvey, the plot thickens.

The journal is published three
times each year by Douglas Col-
lege, with financial] assistance
from the Canada Council and the
Government of British Columbia.
Douglas College writing instruc-
tor Dale Zieroth is the editor.

 

 

 

 

Harvey’s class of first-year speech and voice students will perform the

ing Arts Theatre on Thursday, February 25 at 12:30 p.m. and Friday,
