About this activity
The poetry reading and book launch will be a fun event centered on respect for our temperate rainforests and the ecological necessity of preserving trees and forest cover in our maritime climate.
Through poetry readings by the Writers North of 54 group and their guests, and presentation of artwork and a new book by writer and biologist, Norma Kerby, and landscape artist, Joan Turecki, you will be welcomed into the wet world of North Coast forests.

About the artists
Joan Turecki, Artist
“Northwest landscapes are imbued with a strong physical presence that envelops a person. I have been interested in painting landscapes that evoke this strong presence; creating a sensory memory of being there.”
Joan Turecki was born in 1951 in Vancouver, BC.
She studied at Vancouver School of Art (Emily Carr School of Art and Design) from 1971-1974 and received a Master’s of Human Development with an Art Education Specialization from Pacific Oaks College, Los Angeles USA in 1997.
Joan’s paintings and prints have been influenced by the 40 years she has lived in Northwest, BC.
Dr. Norma Kerby, ecologist, biologist, and writer, is a long-term resident of northwest British
Columbia. She is a volunteer member of the Northern Amphibians Naturalist Society and
involved in the monitoring of amphibians and garter snakes from Fort Fraser to Digby Island on
the coast. Her writing and poetry have been widely published.
