Saturday, April 20, 6:30 – 9:30 p.m.
I am the Manitoba League of Canadian Poets representative, hosting a Dead Poets Society Fundraising dinner in the comfort of my Wolseley home. Guests are asked to bring a book of poetry by a dead poet and share a few poems and a few words about the selection with the dozen or so other guests, and a cheque for $50.00 made out to the League of Canadian Poets. He will collect and mail them, and the League office will send donors a tax receipt. In return guests receive dinner including homemade minestrone, olive buns and bread, fresh pasta from De luca’s, with home-made vegetarian tomato sauce, supplementary meatballs for carnivores, Feta and Spinach Manicotti, and Canneloni from Deluca’s, a Greekish salad, coffee, tea and dessert. Guests have selected the following dead poets so far; Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, Robert Lowell, Gerrard Manley Hopkins, Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Anne Szumigalski and Gwendolyn McEwen.
