Poems for an Oil-Free Coast

Red Tower Bookworks is launching Poems for an Oil-Free Coast, a collection of poems and prose with themes that parallel the people and environment of B.C.‘s central and north coast by Yvonne Blomer, Kim Goldberg, Jeanne Iribarne, Christine Lowther, Garry Thomas Morse, Patrick Pilarski, Steven Noyes, Eden Robinson and Alison Watt. (The same works are included in the art book Canada’s Raincoast At Risk: Art for an Oil-Free Coast, published by Raincoast Conservation Foundation and available in November 2012.)

On Friday, September 21, 2012, as many of the writers/poets as possible, plus others short-listed for inclusion in the book, will read from their work at Moka House in Victoria, BC.
