We have a fresh new episode of Writing the Coast to help you start your weekend right. This week we have a conversation with Bradley Peters. Bradley's book, Sonnets from a Cell (published by Brick Books) is his debut collection which uses the sonnet as a tool to write about prison. In his conversation with host Megan Cole, Bradley talks about how he found the sonnet, and why it's fun to be a poet these days. Also Rob Taylor and Sheryda Warrener, Bradley wants to be friends!

Brick author Marc Perez will present on a panel at the inaugural Filipino-Canadian Book Festival on July 12-14th 2024!

//SATURDAY, JULY 13th//

12:45-1:55 The Poetry Prism--Shaping Realities: Join this panel of poets as we try to hold poetry to the light and see what colors it makes. They'll discuss how language shapes and sustains the attention to outer and inner worlds; the necessary failure of translation; and the ways poetry allows us to reckon with the depths of humanity and give music to the mess of living. Featuring Hari Alluri, Sol Diana, Therese Estacion, Phebe M. Ferrer, Marc Perez. Moderator: Angela Peñaredondo
