The @klmuseumarchives is hosting a couple of writing workshops: On the afternoon of Saturday, April 22, 2023, Hollay Ghadery launched her poetry collection, Rebellion Box, at the Kawartha Lakes Museum & Archives. The occasion was a drop-in event, allowing guests to arrive anytime between 1pm and 4pm to visit with the author, buy her books, and enjoy the refreshments she brought. …... In the 1920s in Bobcaygeon, there arose a constellation of writers, including some of Canada's most decorated poets and influential newspaper editors. At the heart of this constellation was a group of men who cottaged together and were at the forefront of defining Canadian culture. And they seemed to have a hate on for Lucy Maud Montgomery. Happy Thursday! What are you reading? Lindsay native turned stagecoach robber, Pearl Hart (1871-1935), was also a poet. On April 19, 1871, Lillie Naomi Davey was born in Lindsay, Ontario to parents, Albert Davey and Anna Duval. (Anna was also born in Lindsay in 1846.) She had eight siblings. Her father was a drunken lout who sexually assaulted a young girl. He was many times sentenced to jail in Lindsay for drunk and disorderly conduct, but after attempting to rape the young girl at knife point and being sentenced to a year in prison along with twelve strokes of the cat-o-nine-tails, he moved the family to Belleville, then to Orillia.... Just a preview of a new post coming soon. This excerpt is from Arthur L. Phelps's poem, "Bobcaygeon: a sketch of a little town" originally published in The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science Art and Literature, Vol. 54 No. 2, December 1919. Happy World Book Day! What are you reading? We’re back at the Country Living Show in Fenelon until 3pm!
