Our 2012 event was great, and we plan to do another 100,000 Poets for Change event September 28, 2013. Moon Willow Press is creating a chapbook of poems read at our Earthwalk. More information here.

2011: 100 Thousand Poets for Change: Vancouver, BC

Michael Rothenberg & Terri Carrion of Big Bridge are putting together a world-wide event on September 24, 2011, uniting 100 thousand poets to inspire and encourage people to change. This is sort of a sweeping statement, but the idea is to get people out of the house, get them to meet their neighbors in ever-growing times of alienation, and do something good at the local community level while celebrating the arts. There are already many cities world-wide planning their event; each of us has a unique opportunity to identify areas in our own city to address.

2011: Event schedule

Vancouver’s 100,000 Poets for Change will inspire the community to work toward a healthy watershed and wild salmon forever, which have been vital to Vancouver’s cultural and environmental history for thousands of years.
