red earth women presents reading series is an opportunity for reading outloud-with or without musical accompaniment-written works for established writers and most especially welcomes non-professional writers, emerging writers, aspiring writers,  and ecstatic writers-monthly at the UPEI Main Faculty Lounge. With doors at 7, sign up at 7:30 for about 15 readers at 5 minutes each, it is a open mic series mixed with guest artists, with  Tuesday  November 24 bringing us Catherine Owen a poet originally from Vancouver, but now living in Edmonton.

 

Catherine Owen has been published in literary magazines across Canada, Germany, Britain and Australia and been translated into Korean, Italian and Turkish. She has six collections of poetry out from Exile Editions, Wolsak & Wynn, Mansfield and Anvil Press, and plays bass/sings in two metal bands.

The book she’s touring is called Frenzy,  a sequence of muse-quests published by Anvil Press in Vancouver. Frenzy follows archetypal and personal artists as they seek sources for creation in relationships, travel, music, myth and nature. The poems range in form from the “flood-ghazal” a reinterpretation of the 9th century Persian lyric, to a series of prose poems and a long piece that details a photographer’s pilgrimage down a West Coast beach to find the source of her desire to remain an artist in this world.

Catherine looks forward to returning to PEI, the place where her ancestors first arrived in Canada over 200 years ago.
