KENNETH RADU

I had the great honour of attending a reading by the award winning Canadian author, Kenneth Radu last night. He read from his latest offering of short stories, Sex in Russia.

I sat mesmerized in The Pelican Rouge coffee shop in White Rock listening to this extraordinary writer. Thank the God I do not believe in that he (or more likely she,) made sure there were copies of the book on sale.

Actually, the Literary Committee and The Semiahmoo Arts Council take care of that.

I now have a signed copy of my very own!

Shelley, the owner, of the small café, opens her doors after hours for both monthly OPEN MIC readings and periodical READINGS BY THE SALISH SEA.

The Semiahmoo Arts council, in conjunction with Canada Council for the Arts, sponsor writers to come from all across Canada to read in this little literary desert. (A slight exaggeration.)

Open Mic is open to all local writers who wish to share their work in any genre. Except in April, which coming once in twelve, is POERTY month, and we will hear some wonderful local poets again this year I am sure.
