Poetry Night at The Artists’ House

Poetry Night at The Artist’s House

Join us for an inspiring evening of poetry, stories, and community.

This month we are celebrating the book launch of Bianca Lakoseljac’s newest poetry collection, Silence is Full of Sound.

Bianca will host the evening and open the night with readings from her new work. Afterward, the microphone will be open for poets who would like to share their own writing.

Whether you’re a poet, a writer, or simply someone who loves listening to beautiful words — you are warmly invited.

Come for the poetry. Stay for the conversation.

Silence is full of sound

If I were a sculptor

I would fashion you

in the form of the tallest tree

or the most whimsical

that lives in your painting

Trees in the Sky (1939)

at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
