Often, too, we find the prose stories, fiction or non-fiction, that stay with us longest are those told poetically. In this panel, participants will discuss their use of poetry to tell story and the choices they make in doing so, whether those choices are conscious or unconscious, rooted in their background, family and cultural traditions, allow for more humour or greater depth, etc. With prospective panelists from the world of spoken word, storytelling, music, and fiction-writing, the discussion should be wide-ranging, and perhaps live on as a story in itself. “This one time … at Trout Lake …” or “This one time at Trout Lake . . .” 5:30-5:45 Feature Reading: Tanya Evanson 5:45-6: 30 Featurs: Dennis E.
