love bends / the mover: The Roy Miki Issue of The Capilano Review on July 17th at 7pm

The Capilano Review invites you to the launch of its Spring 2026 issue.

love bends / the mover: The Roy Miki Issue brings together new and commissioned work by over 20 contributors to reflect on the enduring legacy of beloved poet, teacher, and organizer Roy Miki (1942-2024).

On Friday, July 17th at 7pm at The Marianne and Edward Gibson Art Museum (SFU Burnaby Mountain campus), the magazine will celebrate the issue’s release. The evening will feature a casual reception followed by an open-floor reading of Roy’s poems, specially selected for the occasion by The Capilano Review’s editors.

This event is free, and all are welcome. Light snacks and refreshments will be served.

Following the reception, guests are encouraged to visit the free Starry Nights program at the neighbouring Trottier Observatory on Burnaby Mountain for stargazing. (*Note that this program is weather dependent—learn more and follow the latest weather updates here.)
