Dead Poets Reading Series

Dead Poets History
David Zieroth founded the Dead Poets Reading Series (then called "The Night of the Dead Poets") in 2007. David ran the series occasionally from 2007 until 2010, both at Upstart Crow and later at The Café for Contemporary Art (both located in North Vancouver). Past series coordinators include Christopher Levenson, Rob Taylor and Diane Tucker, Sandy Shreve, and Kate Braid. Current members of the organizing team are Joanne Arnott, Shazia Hafiz Ramji, Kevin Spenst, Raoul Fernandes, Jane Munro, Diane Tucker, and Isabella Wang. For its first two years, the "reborn" series ran out of Project Space, in Vancouver's Chinatown. In 2013, the Dead Poets Reading Series entered into a partnership with the Vancouver Public Library to host readings out of their Central Branch.

The future of the DPRS is still being written, even if our poets are no longer writing, even if we sometimes have to present readings to your via the internet. Join us, won't you?
