Shane Neilson and Brian Henderson read at St Jerome's! 25 October

[Tristanne Connolly]

Hello, friends,

To kick off our 2012-13 series, Metaphoriment -- where literature meets science, metaphor meets experiment -- we're honoured and delighted to host two brilliant poets from our own neck of the woods, right here in K-W and Guelph.

Shane Neilson and Brian Henderson will be joining us on Thursday 25 October at 8pm in STJ 3014. The reading is free and all are welcome. Hope to see you there. Please spread the word!
