Book Reading - Joe Denham

One night only: Joe Denham returns to Lasqueti, to read from his recent novel The Year of Broken Glass (2011) also his second book of poetry Windstorm (2009). Both works feature Lasqueti as a setting (although you may not recognize it!) His work is anchored in the West Coast, with its environment of moist beauty, atmospheric intensity and delicate balance. His voice is strong, direct and unflinching, evoking the common man and the anarchist. His poetry and prose has appeared in many literary magazines and anthologies (http://joedenham.ca/bio). Joe is a man of many talents: fisher, builder, father, writer, thinker, and he may even sing a song or two for us.

Joe is also an ex-Lasquetian, so he definitely has a sense of humour. A flogging with zucchinis may be in order....
