  • An evening of Honey, Hives, and Poetry

Surrey’s Poet Laureate, Renée Sarojini Saklikar, in collaboration with Surrey Libraries and Governor General’s award winning author, Dr. Mark Winston, will host a poetry reading, writing workshop, and honey tasting event at Surrey City Centre Library on Tuesday, March 15, 7– 8:30 pm.

Renée Sarojini Saklikar is an award winning poet and creative writing instructor as well as Surrey’s first ever Poet Laureate. Dr. Mark Winston is a renowned bee scientist and Simon Fraser University professor, and the author of Bee Time: Lessons from the Hive, winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award (2015) for non-fiction. They will be joined by Heidi Greco, celebrated Surrey poet, who will facilitate audience participation. The Surrey Beekeepers Association will provide a honey tasting. 

Dr. Winston remarks that “art with bees energizes our capacity to imagine and deepens our attentiveness to the world around us.” Join us for an evening of thought-provoking conversation on topics of community and the environment, art and science.

This free event, presented in partnership between Surrey Libraries and Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Dialogue is open to the public. Bee Time: Lessons from the Hive by Mark Winston, children of air india by Renée Sarojini Saklikar, and The Revolving City: 51 Poems and the Stories Behind Them co-edited by Wayde Compton and Renée Sarojini Saklikar, will be available for sale by Black Bond Books.
