Book pub Valentine special – Mon. Feb. 13
Governors Book Pub
Governors Book pub will observe Valentine’s Day in a special way and on a special day, Monday the 13th.
This month’s featured author is Nicole Dixon. Nicole’s work has won the Bronwen Wallace award and has been shortlisted for both the Journey Prize and a CBC Literary Award. Her writing has appeared in The New Quarterly, Grain, The Fiddlehead and Canadian Notes and Queries. High-Water Mark, her first collection of short stories will be published by The Porcupine’s Quill this Fall (2012). Nicole divides her time between Advocate Harbour and New Waterford, Nova Scotia, and is the electronic resources librarian at Cape Breton University.
And, in a special tip of the glass to love, an extended Governors open stage invites aspiring writers to delve into their teenage journals and share their pain.
That’s right, “Sounds Like Teen Spirit – Things I Wrote as a Kid” will be a tribute to teen angst. Whom among the CBC audience are brave enough to go to the front of the “class” Monday evening and share those grade 10 poems about life, love and the pursuit of happiness? Those “Dear Diary” entries from grade 8? I will if you will!
Join us, Monday, Feb. 13, 7-9 p.m. for your monthly dose of local literature at Governors Pub and Eatery on the Esplanade in Sydney. “Sounds Like Teen Spirit” – sounds like a lot of fun.
