 According to Kate Hawkins, drawings are alive, and sometimes the characters in them find their voice. Kate was fortunate enough to overhear and record a few comments from the figures in her drawing Addio Michelangelo. She will be reading four short poems that resulted from her eavesdropping.

 Kate Marshall Flaherty will read her poems to the wonderful music and movement collaboration of dancer Meiko Ando and cellist Kye Marshall. Three poems will be explored: “Ode to my Breath” will encompass the inspiration and exhalation of breath in music, word and dance; “Poplar Grove” will take the audience on a journey back to roots, the past, first love and our hidden inter-connections with trees; “Moon Bird” will play with shape, sound, and sensation in art responding to art.

 Bianca Lakoseljac will read excerpts from her two novels, Stone Woman and Summer of the Dancing Bear. A published author of four books, Bianca is currently working on another novel set in Toronto.
