The Poet’s Pathway has new stopping points. They’re being installed at 10 a.m. today on the Nepean recreational pathway, beside Colonnade Road, 1.5km east of Merivale Road, behind Corinth Private (45 20’40.64″ N by 75 42’57.55″ W)
One plaque, Alfred Garneau’s Le croquis, is to Alfred Garneau, our first French language poet!
The other plaque is William Wilfred Campbell’s Down the Merivale Road. Campbell’s last home is nearby, just west of Merivale Road.
The short ceremony includes poets Andree Lacelle and Diane Schmolka, literary historian and archivist, Dr. Steven Artelle, and Councillor Keith Egli.
Speaking of putting poets on the map, if you missed it, you can listen to the the mp3 of the segment from CKCU radio on the Tree Seeds Workshop “You Are Here” poetry/map project with host Hilary Duff interviewing myself, Monty Reid and rob mclennan.
All are welcome to join this evening, the 8th, at 6:45pm at Arts Court, second floor. At 8pm, Tree continues with feature readers Daniel David Moses and Roger Nash.
