SUMMARY:Launch of Ethel Meilleur’s “Funny Girl”
DESCRIPTION:Ethel Meilleur will read from her first chapbook\, Funny Girl\, published by Sky of Ink Press.\nMusic by Brian Campbell \nFinger food\, wine\, refreshments \nAdmission free \nEthel Meilleur’s Funny Girl is absolutely a must-read:\nLusty in lung and busty in breath\, these poems are\ngusty with gusto. You gotta read em aloud\, shout em out\,\nand bust out laughin–appropriately–when you comprehend\nthe gutsy Black\, back-country wisdom\, the Africadian\,\naphoristic backtalk\, and the bluesy narratives that the poet\nthrows down. These lyrics are hoe-down\, show-down\, and\nget-down at sundown. Only a serious Funny Girl can deliver\nlines like these: “Wrap me in your personality / and roll me\noff your tongue // open your mouth and let the river run through /\nwhile I fish into your taste buds.” Mmm\, mmm\, mmm. Amen\,\nAmen\, Amen-Ra\, Rah-Rah-Rah. \nGeorge Elliott Clarke\n7th Parliamentary Poet Laureate (2016 & 2017)
