Two New Zealand-based poets, working in both in the written and spoken forms, are taking to the stages, bookshops and bars of British Colombia, including a stop in Victoria. Laura Williamson , born in Quebec and raised in BC, and Liz Breslin, with roots in the UK and Poland, can't wait to bring their fun, provocative wordplay to Planet Earth Poetry, where they'll be appearing as featured poets on Friday July 19 from 7:30pm at Hillside Coffee and Tea (across from Bolen Books). They will also be running a workshop, 'Writing from your roots', from 10:30am to 2:30pm that day. Participants who bring their workshop poems to the Planet Earth Poetry open mic that evening will get first dibs on reading! Register at the workshop on barbarapelman@gmail.com.
