Metatron Press presents: A 10-Year-Anniversary Reading and Party
Join Metatron Press and friends for an abundantly ambitious reading to mark and celebrate our 10 year anniversary! This 3-part reading brings together a staggeringly brilliant group of voices that we have published over the past 10 years, including local legends, poets, and writers traveling to us from Ontario, Saskatchewan, California, New York, and Massachusetts.
For 10 years, Metatron has been passionately championing, preserving, and celebrating poetry and experimental writing. Along the way, they’ve hosted 70 events, published 50 groundbreaking books, and built a rich archive of digital poetry, creating a platform for thousands of voices to resonate with those who know how to listen.
Drop in anytime between 5 PM and 10 PM for an evening of electrifying readings, delicious drinks (cocktails, mocktails), snacks, and engaging conversation. As you immerse yourself in the words, let Field Note set the sonic atmosphere between and after the readings.
Tickets are available now—grab an Early Bird ticket at a reduced rate before they sell out (limited quantities until October 1st). Don’t miss this unforgettable celebration of poetry, the written word, and the ancient art of listening.
