Isn't it lovely? I smiled all the way through editing it. It's a national event too!

While Googling last night, turns out Liz is now Poet Laureate for second year running. Check out the wonderful things she is doing.

Does SJ have a Poet Laureate? Like you need one, you are all poets!

Wish I was there to attend your poetry reading. Sound like a perfect thing to do.

I had heard of Random acts of poetry before on CBC story - but this is lovely - I'd never imagined how intimate and uplifting and at the same oridnary it was to be poemed - thanks - LOIS

I am working on this play about domestic violence which is also quiet funny. Not as a director - but as the AD and mentor director. I have invited Berni to come to give us a talkback on Saturday night after the show and there will be something delic…

I'm older than you and have kids, but when I was your age, I felt the urge to have children for the first time - a very strong urge that was completely irrational, and very surprising. I became pregnant with a one night stand, and was tempted to kee…

The 48th Parallel Project is A ROCK ISLAND PRODUCTION.

HOUSEKEEPING

Our name was inspired by a survey of elected women in governments worldwide showing Canada in the disappointing position of #48. And over the past two years we've dropped to 50 and risen to 47....
We're a politically motivated, artistically driven platform for feminists interested in challenging the status quo.
We invite filmmakers, artists and activists to express themselves and contribute their art and ideas.
We're committed to showcasing female artists and to connecting with women around the world.
We believe we have a responsibility to support womens' struggle for human rights and equality globally.
We also believe in using art and entertainment to mix it up in the political world.
Our logo is by young Newfoundland artist Isabelle Riche. Welcome!
Please drop me a line here, anytime!
Cheers, Rosemary
