Word Art in the Gallery
March 11, 2010 9:00 AM
Halifax-based poet and musician Tanya Davis will be performing at an event this Thursday at the StFX Art Gallery. Hosted by the English society in conjunction with Radio CFXU, the event will feature a variety of poets, both student and local, alongside Davis, and will also feature an open mic space at the end of the show.
The intimate venue will host Davis for the second time. Her first was last March when she stunned the audience with a heartfelt solo set. Davis, originally from Prince Edward Island, was named poet of the year in 2007 by Halifax’s art scene newspaper, The Coast, and has been nominated for several Music Nova Scotia awards. She has toured with Jenn Grant, and her newest release, Gorgeous Morning, is soon to be succeeded by another album in the making.
This Thursday at 8 p.m., Davis will be performing new poems, due to what she describes on her blog as “recent resurgence in [her] love of poetry.” If you are a lover of poetry yourself, or want to be, this will be the place to go.
Entry is by donation, and coffee, tea, and baked goods will be available throughout the show.
