summer 2022
We’ll be back to Friday night readings in the Fall…but for now, join us this summer for a Poets Picnic! Bring your own poetry, chair and/or blanket, and whatever else you need to be comfortable in a park setting. This is an informal gathering to relax, write together, and share poetry with each other. This is fair-weather picnic (If the weather is good, we’ll be there! If it’s raining, we won’t.)
WHEN: August 20, 2–4 pm
WHERE: Beacon Hill Park, on the Athletic Green (between the Cameron Bandshell and Fountain Lake)
Note: new date, Aug 20!
Join us on August 27 in Beacon Hill Park.
The Planet Earth Poetry reading series is a launching pad for the energies of writers and poets established and not. It is a place where words are most important. A venue in which all manner of poets and writers are welcome; a place for excellence, innovation, collaboration, diverse projects and experiments. Planet Earth Poetry takes place at Russell Books, 747 Fort St. in downtown Victoria. Doors open at 7:00; sign up for the open mic between 7:00-7:15. The evening begins at 7:30 with an open mic, followed by a featured reader(s). Planet Earth Poetry acknowledges with respect that we read and write on the traditional territories of the WSÁNEĆ (Saanich), Lkwungen (Songhees), Wyomilth (Esquimalt) peoples of the Coast Salish Nation.
