rewp february 2011: close to the heart
red earth women presents is pleased
to bring another February event with OPEN MIC
and special-guest-island-artist Dianne Hicks Morrow
Since the publication of her poetry collection Long Reach Home in 2002, Dianne has given readings and writing workshops across Canada. She has read her award-winning poetry and humorous essays on CBC radio, at conferences, and the Labrador Arts Festival. At one unforgettable literacy fundraiser she was the warm-up act for Red Green.
A former executive director of the L.M. Montgomery Institute at UPEI, and a past president of the PEI Writer’s Guild, Dianne now writes and teaches full-time. It delights her that each of her Seniors’ College Life Writing groups still run their own writing groups, the first now in its seventh year. Dianne also offers various writing courses each summer at the PEI School of the Arts in North Rustico.
In 2008 she received the Award for Distinguished Contribution to the Literary Arts on Prince Edward Island. Her non-fiction book Kindred Spirits: Relationships that Spark the Soul contains interviews with 27 Atlantic Canadians about the kindred spirit “elationships” in their lives. Her new book of poetry will be published by Acorn Press in 2011.
