The Elizabeth Bishop Society of Nova Scotia will hold its 2019 AGM on Saturday afternoon, 22 June 2019, in St. James Church, Great Village, N.S. Guest speakers will be poets Harry Thurston and Margo Wheaton.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the EBSNS. We will be celebrating this milestone with a special exhibit of EB inspired hooked rugs by Truro, N.S., artist Penny Lighthall. Also, writer Rita Wilson will be on hand to talk about her upcoming book for children about Bishop’s Nova Scotia childhood, which will be published by Nimbus Publishing in the fall. Stay tuned here and on our Facebook page and blog for more details of this event, as they become available. Hope to see you “In the Village” in June.
