odd sundays at Molly's in Fredericton

Poetry reading: M.Travis Lane featured at odd sundays at molly’s, Fredericton’s longest running semimonthly poetry reading series.

Sunday, January 7- 2PM
Molly’s Coffee House, 554 Queen Street

Featured reader, M.Travis Lane, B.A., honours, Phi Beta Kappa, Vassar, M.A. and PhD. Cornell. Canadian citizen by choice, Lane came to Fredericton in 1960, madly writing all the while. While producing book after book of poetry, also she has essayed, reviewed and otherwise enriched our understanding of poets and poetry. She has given papers on the long poem at UBC, at York University, and at the Maritime Writers' Workshop. Researcher and teacher at UNB, Lane has edited Cornell’s Vassar Review, has worked for M. H. Abrams, and has marked for Vladimir Nabokov. Her poems have been anthologized, set to music, and performed, such is her connection to art in Canada. If you google M. Travis Lane, you will find a long list of poetry prizes in her name, as well as the impressive scope of her publications (from Five Poets, Cornell 1960, to Touch Earth, Guernica Editions, 2006.) Mostly, though, come hear her read.
