Mother Tongue Publishing’s landmark FORCE FIELD anthology of 77 women poets of British Columbia, edited by Susan Musgrave, had a spectacular launch on Saturday (April 13, 2013) at Vancouver Public Library. No less than 33 poets read to an audience of 140!
Check ’em out! It’s a Who’s Who of CanPo.
Better still, you can listen to audio files of all the readings, recorded by Seattle poet and Cascadia Poetry Festival founder Paul Nelson here: http://paulenelson.com/2013/04/18/force-field-77-women-bc-poets/

My pleasure, Paul. You are doing great work! Thanks so much for recording this launch and the PEP anthology launch. It’s so important to document these moments in our shared cultural history, but that often gets bypassed.
Wow – congrats. Looks AWEsome! Wonder if my Ontario sisters would be up for this.
Our beautiful women poets…..so amazing…;)
