Cadence & Coffee: A Lyric Cafe

April 22, 7-10 pm
Augustine United Church (444 River Avenue)

Come for the poetry, come for the jazz, come for the prizes!

Join host Ron Robinson for a stylish evening of performances by Dennis Cooley, Catherine Hunter, K.I. Press, A.J. Levin, The Maurice Mierau Trio and Poor Tree.

The evening will also feature a vintage typewriter aution and much more.

And the best part is, all proceeds for the evening go toward the Manitoba Poetry Endowment whose goal is to create a dedicated prize for poetry in Manitoba.

Tickets are $10 and are available in advance or at the door. For more information contact 942-6134 or email poetry@mbwriter.mb.ca.

Can't make it to Cadence & Coffee? But still want to support the creation of a poetry prize in Manitoba?

You can make a direct donation to the Manitoba Poetry Endowment through the Manitoba Writers Guild. Every dollar donated gets us closer to our goal of creating an award for Manitoba poets to be presented at the annual Brave New Words: Manitoba Writing and Publishing Awards.

Though I'm a touch biased (being one of many local poets on the organizing committee of the Manitoba Poetry Endowment), this event promises to be nifty, so take it in if you can...
