THE ELORA POETRY CENTRE held a special reading by the Montreal poet Asa Boxer from his new chapbook Etymologies, on 30 July, 2016 at 4.00 p.m.  Asa had read at the Elora Centre for the Arts and the Elora Poetry Centre on several occasions and so we were delighted to have him back once more.  His reading was followed by another friend, Abigail Lapell, a singer-songwriter who had been here with the Fish Quill poets in the past.

After the reading and Abigail’s performance we held a “Whacky Poetry Carnival Auction!”  Amongst the items offered for auction were CD’s, books, the best dress made from paper, the best paper trousers, and the best costume made from leaves! The auction was followed by the usual finger food supper and drinks.
