Join us on Saturday, April 30 at The Capilano Review offices for an afternoon of (something like) group therapy facilitated by visiting poet and mental-health worker Jasmine Gibson. Let's determine what we can make of CRISIS when gathered peaceably in CIRCLES. Let's figure out how best to prepare our irritations, troubles, and nightmares for sharing.

Sangria and tea will be served afterwards (in case we've accidentally exiled the festive spirits).

COST: $20 sliding scale (includes a one-year print subscription to The Capilano Review for yourself or a friend), but no one turned away for lack of funds.

Note that Jasmine will be reading with local poet Mercedes Eng on April 29 at a free, public reading at Gallery Gachet. Event info here.

Many thanks to the SFU Department of English and Writer in Residence Committee for their co-sponsorship of these events.
