In celebration of Poetry Month, Pat Smekal and Ian Cognitō will offer a poetry reading in Parksville on April 27.
The event will be hosted by the Parksville Branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library at 100 Jensen Ave East at 2 p.m., according to a news release.
Smekal and Cognitō launched their first collaborative effort, flora, fauna & h. sapiens, at this same venue eight years ago.

Free admission. All are welcome.
