This is not the kind of news you want to hear just before National Poetry Month kicks off.

Julie Mahfood has just been notified by the, owner of Cafe Aurora, that WIRE may no longer be held at the Cafe. Ms Mahfood said that "in lieu of trying to find a new spot at this stage, WIRE will be discontinued until further notice."

PQ salutes Ms Mahfood for her tireless work in trying to bring poetry to the West Island and wishes her the best in her future endevours.
