Poet flyé wings way into Frye Festival

Frye Festival’s very own poet laureate will make his debut in Moncton April 25-29 to capture all the sights and delights of this year’s festival in an epic poem.

Moncton writer Paul Bossé today winged his way into the festival as Poet flyé to create a new and lasting memento of this five-day celebration of words. The creation of the poem will give festival-goers their own chance at fame as Bossé will invite them to share their experiences to include in his work.

His interactive poem will be permanently displayed at the Greater Moncton International Airport following a reading of his work Sunday, April 29, to close this year’s festival. The public is welcome to attend the event which starts at 1 p.m. in the Destination Lounge.

Chairperson Dawn Arnold says the event is a fitting finale to the festival and thanked the airport for its participation. “The festival is fortunate to have the support of generous and innovative sponsors like the Greater Moncton International Airport. Without their contributions, events like this would not be possible.”

Bossé says he looks forward to attending the festival events and putting his thoughts and the thoughts of festival-goers to paper. “The festival takes us on a wonderful journey of discovery. Through its events we explore the magic and power of words. I want my poem to take readers on a similar journey, experiencing the things I see and hear on my inaugural flight as Poet flyé.”
