Poetry Night at The Artists’ House

Poetry Night — The Stories We Carry

Memories. Perhaps that's one of the things I love most about poetry.

So many of the poems shared at The Artists' House begin with a memory. A childhood experience, a person we've loved, a place we once called home, or some small moment that has stayed with us for reasons we don't entirely understand.

Sometimes a poet shares a memory that is deeply personal, yet somehow it awakens something in the rest of us. A few words can transport us back decades, or remind us of someone we haven't thought about in years.

And unlike the treasures tucked away in our cedar chests, poems are memories we can share.

This Friday is Poetry Night at The Artists' House, and I'd love you to join us. Bring a poem, a story, or simply come to listen. You never know what memories might come wandering back.

Friday, October 16 | 7–9 pm
The Artists' House, 2 Townley St., Nottawa
