In partnership with PEN Canada and the Toronto Public Library, Diaspora Dialogues is excited to present the next installment of our monthly reading/performance events. February brings something slightly different – three events in one month as part of Toronto Public Library’s “Keep Toronto Reading” festival.

Mayor David Miller has declared February 2006 "Keep Toronto Reading" month, in honour of the Toronto Public Library, the busiest library system in North America. Throughout February, library branches across the city will offer an extensive menu of author readings, performances, and stimulating public forums. These free public events will showcase our city's myriad writing talents and our love of the printed word.

The Globe and Mail recently named Diaspora Dialogues as one of the five reading series in Toronto that give the city its cultural vitality. Please join us:

Wednesday, February 8th, 7pm, in the theatre inside the Palmerston Library, 560 Palmerston Ave, (near Bloor) to hear readings from playwright and Artistic Director of Native Earth Performing Arts, Yvette Nolan, award-winning poet and author Olive Senior, playwright/poet Jonathan Garfinkle, and an emerging writer from our 2005 program, poet Helena Frei. The evening will be hosted by Whose Line Is it Anyway? star Colin Mochrie, and SCTV alumni and Getting Along Famously star Debra McGrath.

Wednesday, February 15th, 7pm, also at Palmerston Library, will include readings from Diaspora Dialogues participants – the award-winning author Joseph Kertes and emerging writer Robert Carr – and a spoken word performance by winner of the T.I.R.M.A. (Toronto International Reggae Music Award) for Dub-Poet of the year 2004-2005, J. Nichole Noel. The event will be hosted by actress and Saturday Night Live alumni Robin Duke.

We’re excited to partner with Factory Theatre’s CrossCurrents festival, which launches new works from emerging and established writers of colour from across the nation. CrossCurrents takes place April 1-9, 2006, but we’ll have a sneak preview of two of the plays chosen for the festival – Dalbir Singh’s Five. Red.

7 Hart House Circle
Fiction by Rabindranath Maharaj and Judy Fong Bates
Spoken Word by lisa "luscious" tai

Additionally, an open call distributed across the University of Toronto campus in December has found four promising new voices. The quality of the submissions was so high the jury had too difficult a time picking only one poet and one short story writer to participate – so they choose two of each!

Marlene Goldman teaches English Literature and is the Scarborough campus representative in the Diaspora Studies Program. She will read from her first collection of poetry, just recently completed and under submission to publishers. For students Parmïs Mirabdolbaghi and Fan Li, submitting their work was a brand new experience. Mirabdolbaghi will be reading poetry, and Li will be reading from the short story he created for the open call. Sima Saharah Zerehi, a student, part-time newspaper editor and community activist, will read the short story she submitted. As a first generation immigrant from Iran who came to Canada as a refugee in her early teens, she believes her work “reflects one of the many young diverse voices in Toronto’s ever growing multicultural cityscape.”
