Performance by Shauntay Grant
Join former Halifax Poet Laureate Shauntay Grant for a spoken-word performance. She will preform several poems, including one from her new book, “Apples and Butterflies.”
Apples and Butterflies is a gentle, lyrical poem about a family’s autumn vacation and shows Prince Edward Island in a light we don’t often see—the bright blue and orange light of fall. Tamara Thiébaux-Heikalo’s rich and wild illustrations build a narrative with the text, showing us the family beachcombing, flying kites, and picking apples
