Hope you can come on down and catch some FisherPoet action!  I’ll be reading with the group at Boundary Bay Mountain Room featuring poets from 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm.  My time slot is 8:15.  I’ve selected two pieces to read, a prose about shock and awe of working on a fish processing assembly line and a poem of a woman of the soil who yearns for a lover to leave the sea.  Last year was a blast, the room was packed! Many good poets.  Many good stories.  Hope you see you there. Details below. -Shannon
