Poetry Reading and Live Music with Trevor Carolan & Henry Young

Join us in the gallery for a springtime reading with live music accompaniment by North Vancouver based writer Trevor Carolan and jazz guitarist Henry Young in honour of National Poetry Month.

About the artists

Trevor Carolan has published more than 20 books and writes regularly for BC Bookworld and many journals. Underscored by love of the sacred and the natural world, his ecology poems and “deep journeying” travel reports are hailed by The Vancouver Sun for their “moments of human grace, sublime landscapes and human habitations crusted with time and history.” An avid bird watcher, Carolan will read from his collection In Formless Circumstance (Ekstasis), and from his new work in progress, The Maplewood Suite.

Henry Young – from the Newport, Montreux and African Jazz Festivals to its Smiling Buddha Cabaret-era, Vancouver’s Chinatown hero and guitar great, Henry Young, has played alongside many of the world’s jazz and R&B greats including Nina Simone, Ray Charles, and Miles Davis.
