A new event that aims to bring together nationally celebrated writers and spoken word artists with local talent is coming to downtown 91大黄鸭 next week.
The Milkcraters of the Moon Reading Series is a collaboration of UBCO鈥檚 creative writing program, the Inspired Word Caf茅, and Milkcrate Records.
鈥淭he event takes the open mic model that has been so successful for Inspired Word Cafe, and tries to merge it with the longstanding reading series at UBCO,鈥� says event co-organizer, Cole Mash. 鈥淭he goal, in the end, is to end the separation of our local and institutional art communities and foster community and coalition building.鈥�
The night will also feature a reading and discussion with nationally recognized author, Darren Bifford, who has written well-known books such as Wedding in Fire Country, False Spring, Hermit Crab and Age of Revolution.
The event is free and begins June 5 at 7 p.m. at Milkcrate Records, 527 Lawrence Avenue.
