odd sundays – January 29
January 29, 2017 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Patrons of odd sundays will gather once again at Corked Wine Bar, 83 Regent St. at 2 P.M. on January 29th. If you were on hand for our last session, you will have noticed a new arrangement concerning our microphone and location of readers. This was an attempt to ensure everyone has a good experience. It appears now to work best for all concerned.
Please come on the 29th, and lend your support to our host Charlotte, to our readers at the open mic and of course to Sarah Cooper and Lucas Crawford, our guests for the day.
Sarah Cooper grew up in both Quispamsis and Saint John, New Brunswick, under the watchful eye of her Labrador Retriever Beau. She began her struggle with mental illness at a young age, in many forms, and caused by a combination of biological and environmental factors. Music was her favourite form of therapy, and within lyrics she found understanding. While in high school Sarah was officially diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, and a diagnosis of Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizure Disorder followed shortly after. Once high school came to its conclusion she moved to Prince Edward Island, where she fell in love with the Island and its inhabitants. She then studied creative writing at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
Lucas Crawford is the author of Sideshow Concessions (Invisible 2015), which won the 2015 Robert Kroetsch Award for Innovative Poetry, and is also the author of a book of scholarly essays about transgender. Lucas teaches English at UNB and is from rural Nova Scotia.
