Welcome friends of Poetry on the Peaks.

This years festivities will take place Sunday July, 26th 2009 around 1pm. near Nose Mountain Firetower. Poetry on the Peaks is a community event organized with the help of many artists, poets and friends in Grande Prairie. Special thank you to poet Cat Mclaughlin for organizational assistance. It is with thanks to the creative people of Grande Prairie that Poetry on the Peaks continues. This year in celebration of the United Nations International Year of Astronomy we will read poems that feature the day or night Sky. We will read our own poems or poems that we have brought to share, enjoy music and the mountain sky.  We will also read, “Dangerous Astronomy” by Spokane/Coeur d’Alene Native poet Sherman Alexie, “Star Quilt” by Oneida Nation poet, Roberta Hill, and poems by Canadian poets, Susan Goyette and Mark Frutkin. Please see below for more details and email nosemtn@yahoo.com for directions. Nose Mt. is a one and a half to two hour drive southwest of Grande Prairie. A truck or vehicle with sufficient clearance is necessary for the Nose Mtn. road and 4×4 is helpful if the road is wet. In case of big winds or rain, we will reschedule for August 2nd. Look forward to seeing you on the Nose.
