An Evening of Poetry and Music

Raven Chapbooks presents: Diana Hayes, Celia Meade, & Karl Meade

Three Salt Spring poets reading interspersed with live music by Screech Owl, featuring acclaimed musician and filmmaker Ando Leuchter. Diana Hayes, publisher for Raven Chapbooks, will read from her recent book, Sapphire and the Hollow Bone, with poems that celebrate nature’s resilience and the inherent potential of the human spirit to heal; poems that honour family and the life cycles of our earthly habitat. Celia Meade will read from her debut, Anatomy of the World, a collection of poems about Meade’s world, told through the anatomy of family life. The book reflects Meade’s life as she grows older and her children enter adulthood and continue to evolve. Karl Meade will read from his new poetry chapbook from Raven Chapbooks, called doom eager, an Icelandic term for the obsession that an artist experiences when caught by something they can’t let go.
