This April we’re joined by authors Linzey Corridon and Zane Koss at Sheridan College Hazel McCallion Campus! Immerse yourself in an evening of poetry and meet fellow book lovers while you're at it. Our talented lineup of writers will be reading excerpts from their latest works followed by a Q&A session and open mic.

Please note that this event will be taking place in the Creative Campus Gallery in the B-Wing at Sheridan College's Hazel McCallion Campus.
