PURDYFEST #8: Focus on Pauline Johnson and First Nations Art & History



This will be the eighth summer that poets will gather on the August long weekend in the greater Marmora area to share and celebrate. Many activities will take place at ZenRiver Gardens in the hamlet of Malone, other events will be held in the Marmora Library Building and on the Marmora dam. Everyone is invited to all these free events, and all participants are encouraged to share their poetry, music and art.

Activities begin late Friday afternoon, August 1st, with a Potluck Supper at ZenRiver Gardens by the shaman shack. Free 'rough camping' is available for the weekend.

PurdyFest Symposiums have been focusing on the life, art and legacies of Canada's major "People's Poets". To date these symposiums have examined the work of poets Al Purdy, Ted Plantos, Milton Acorn, Raymond Souster and Dorothy Livesay. We are working our way back through Canadian history, and this summer we'll examine and celebrate the life and legacy of Mohawk poet Pauline Johnson, who made her contributions a century ago. The symposium on Pauline Johnson will be held in The William Shannon Room of the Marmora Library Building from noon to 2 pm on Saturday, August 2nd.

After the Symposium poets, friends and summer visitors will gather on the islet in the Marmora Dam for ANOTHER DAM POETRY READING. Marmora singer/guitarist/poet Morley Ellis will lead off the round robin readings, with everyone attending encouraged to share their art.

Events continue early Sunday afternoon at ZenRiver Gardens. Tai Grove is both the publisher of Hidden Brook Press and the President of The Canada-Cuba Literary Alliance. Tai will host readings by these two groups, and there is always time for all poets attending to present a poem or two of their own, whether a member of these groups or not.

Glad to receive emails my friends' email whom I introduced to AlPurdyFest (yes, free camping and some fun and dark nights).. although this time I could not go and stayed at home... they all seemed enjoying the outdoor/ Nature's embrace.

谢过您介绍参加此次露营活动。

大家谈文咏诗，交流听高论，有点意思。

睡在大自然草地上，晚上无电靠拾来的木材树枝点上篝火聊天，自带烧烤，在河里和用井水洗漱，离大自然那么近，也很是给力。有野生动物，见鹿，另听说，有点害怕的是土狼，偶尔有熊，但是，一般来讲，有篝火和不少人，动物早跑的远远的啦。我躺在帐篷里，想到这样一个问题：原始人类，住在洞穴里，没有什么物质享受，不过，他们也不一定不愉快。现代人几乎什么都有了，但是，很多人都活得很不愉快，这才有了我的这个行业。

祝我们大家都开开心心过好每一天。


Please send my sincere thanks for Chris the host. It was a great activity, meaningful in exchanging poetic and artistical thoughts and words. Also I could feel the subtle feeling world of the poets attending the event. They were so great at catching human sensitive world and flying through thoughts.

Got Chris' and others' email to thank me and other friends to donate some money for this event....

Glad to do that and support the AlPurdyFest...

But Chris also said since they got older and lacked financial support, they decided this time is the last one for AlPurdyFest....

Sad to know...
