I'm delighted to be part of the Vancouver Poetry Phone Project. Details below.

Downtown Vancouver presents: The Poetry Phone - Vancouver’s first free, interactive poetry phone line. Call in and listen to recordings from 10 local writers, curated by Renee Sarojini Saklikar. Our goal is to bring a new and accessible format of entertainment to anyone who has felt the social isolation this past year has brought. Call 1-833-POEMS-4-U (763-6748) or visit www.dtvan.ca/poetryphone to listen and find out more about the featured poems. #VanPoetryPhone
