Heather Haley; the Siren of Howe Sound
I’ve mentioned Heather here many times but never before as the Siren of Howe Sound (hats off to Raincoaster for coining this phrase). A well known local poet, Heather has been a punk rocker, video poetry innovator, and more in her pursuit of image, sound, and language as expressive forms rising from deeply felt personal experience. Her next appearance is on August 16, 2010 at the Irish Heather (in Vancouver, Canada) as the guest for The Shebeen Club’s August 2010 meeting. From the news release,
Who: The Shebeen Club and the Siren of Howe Sound, Heather Haley
What: A night of multimedia delights celebrating the recent publication of Three Blocks West of Wonderland. (For more information on the Shebeen Club (http://theshebeenclub.com/about/)
When: Monday, August 16, from 7pm-9pm
Where: The Shebeen, behind the Irish Heather, 212 Carrall Street
As always, $20 buys you dinner and a drink and some of the finest literary company this city has to offer. No RSVP is required, but it¹s appreciated so we have a rough idea of whether we need to reserve the snug or to lay in crowd control! [go to The Shebeen Club website to RSVP]
Join us as we celebrate the release of Heather Haley¹s latest book of poetry, Three Blocks West of Wonderland. Heather is both the digital AND actual troubadour of the West Coast, from Bowen Island to Venice Beach, and for the first time she¹ll be bringing her multimedia performance experience to the Shebeen Club. There will be poetry. There will be prose. There will be beauty. There may be song. And there WILL be videopoems, a dynamic genre that seems to have sprung fully formed from the forehead of the Siren of Howe Sound herself.
We¹re very proud to help celebrate a pivotal local literatus¹s latest launch! And that¹s my allotment of ³L¹s² for the week right there.
