Calling all Canadian poets!
CBC is putting together 49 songs for Obama, calling it Obama's Playlist. The Powell River Live Poets' Guild is doing the same, but with poetry! We need poems from you on what it means to be Canadian so we can compile 49 of them into a book and send them to the President-Elect as an inauguration gift.
The book won't be finished in time for the 20th, but we're telling the President-Elect what we're doing, and the book will get there soon afterwards. We need Canadian poems! Poems on Canada, Canadian identity -- what do you want to say to the 44th president?
Please send all poems to mettalaw [at] gmail [dot] com. Include whatever name you want to appear with your poem!
When the poems are together and ready and the book is printed, we're going to get it signed by the people who sent it in and then send it to Obama.
So what do you say? Are you with us?
