Greetings Easy Speakers!

It’s time again for Easy Speak at the Hummingbird Saloon!

I would be more than delighted if you came and shared your songs, poems, shopping lists, paragraphs, memos and all measures of inspired performance that take up no more than five minutes at the mic.

We start things up round about 8pm, there will be a sign-up sheet at the bar. And….happy hour prices all evening!

    Is there going to be the open mike this coming Monday Dec 23 at the Hummingbird? I’m guessing not, but thought I’d check.
    Also, can I tell a story instead of a poem? I know it has to 5 min or less…
    Thanks,

    Yes this is an open mic.

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

The Ridge is a poem in 20 parts, a meditation on a geological feature of Quadra Island, a large island in British Columbia, just north of the Strait of Georgia, and thus the Salish Sea. But the poem is also a meditation on what’s happening on the island and on the planet we share in what’s been described as devastating imagery. I would add that it’s a meditation on the human species as well, at this time in the early Anthropocene.
Robert Bringhurst is the author. Trained initially in the sciences at MIT, he makes his life in the humanities from his home on Quadra Island, where he’s worked in poetry, Native American linguistics and typography. An officer of the Order of Canada, former Guggenheim Fellow and winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence. He’s our guest today to talk about The Ridge. Robert, thanks for your time and hospitality.
