The Brock University Creative Writers' Club is proud to present...

lapse;
an anthology of creative writing


The BUCWC's is proud present 'lapse.' Brock's annual anthology of poetry and short fiction which features some of Brock's most talented writers.

The launch party will be on April 13 at 7 pm. Where you ask? At Cask 22 (176 St. Paul Street). Cask 22 is a nice little wine bar in the downtown. We had a successful launch there last year, and hope to do it again.

Bring your friends, lovers and family for a great evening.

The book will be on sale at this event for $10 a copy.

If you have been featured in this year's anthology we would love for you to read the poems or the short fiction piece you have in the anthology. Email me back confirming that you are willing to read. The more writers we can showcase the better.

I guarantee this to be an excellent night.

Please spread the word. Here is the link to facebook event:

(Word on the Street: As a non-bucwc event there may or may not be some sort of gathering at the Merchant Ale House after the event)
