Unlucky in Love returns to the e-bar for its third installment on Feb. 13 from 7 to 9pm.
Share in an evening of stories celebrating the romantically unlucky and what happens when love goes wrong – the perfect antidote to Valentine’s Day.
The night kicks off with tales of woe from Nicholas Ruddock, whose 2010 novel The Parabolist will set the tone with tales of murder, sex and vigilante justice. Joining Nicholas are Lara Bozabalian, who published her first full-length collection The Cartographer’s Skin this past spring. Storyteller Christoph Kesting, also the author of more than 15 books, will also join the event.
And then, it’s your turn.
In the second hour, the audience has a chance to share a poem, story, song or spoken word of love gone wrong. Presenters will be given three minutes to depress and impress the audience. Evening takes place at e-Bar at the Bookshelf, 41 Quebec Street in Guelph. Tickets are $13 at the door.
The event is a fundraiser for the Eden Mills Writers’ Festival.
