Real Vancouver Writers' Series Sixth Anniversary Showcase


February 25, 2016


Real Vancouver Writers' Series returns in 2016 with our annual anniversary showcase, coinciding with Freedom to Read Week. We're happy to partner with this great organization to reaffirm our commitment to making terrible jokes and slurry proclamations, or, um, intellectual freedom, as it is guaranteed to all Canadians under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We take our jokes seriously and we hope you won't laugh.

The stellar line-up includes:
* Chelene Knight, author of Braided Skin, Mother Tongue Publishing
* Billeh Nickerson, author of Artificial Cherry, Arsenal Pulp Press
* Rahat Kurd, author of Cosmophilia, Talon Books
* Annelyse Gelman, author of Everyone I Love is a Stranger to Someone, published independently
* Beni Xiao, author of poems and things as yet uncollected and released upon the world
* Billie Livingston, author of The Crooked Heart of Mercy, published by Penguin Random House of Canada

So take that cold and indifferent grip of winter!

And there's always books and beer.

Time: 7 pm PST
Venue: Chinatown's The Playground
Location: 434 Columbia Street Vancouver, BC
