On Friday and Saturday, 14-15 June 2024, the EBSNS will mark its 30th anniversary with some exciting free events at the Elizabeth Bishop House in Great Village, N.S. Everyone is welcome. After dispatching our necessary business with our AGM on Friday morning (11:00 a.m.), in the afternoon join us for a "Room By Verse Tour" of the Bishop House (1:30 p.m.), which will see a reader in each room reading one of Elizabeth Bishop's Nova Scotia poems. On Saturday morning, Nova Scotia poet Brian Bartlett will give a talk about Elizabeth Bishop's Key West Houses (10:30 a.m.). Then we will cut the anniversary cake! In the afternoon (1:30 p.m.), British Columbia writer Leesa Dean will give a talk about the creative process that yielded her long poem Filling Station (Gaspereau Press 2022) based on Bishop's life in Brazil. We look forward to seeing all who can venture forth to the village and join us for these events. We'll share some images from the festivities later in June.
