Christine Thorpe, a native of Penticton, BC, is the Development Co-Ordinator for Poetry London. Before settling on English Literature as a field of study, Christine studied biology, mathematics and computer science. Her two books, A Rind of Sun (Serengeti Press, 2008) and Tendered Arms (Manifold Books, 2011) are co-authored with James Wood, whose drawings ``complete`` selected poems.
Her poems ``are addressed to `those who feel in each bright stream, the pull of an underground river`. Willing readers are drawn from personal crossroads into subtly strange lands where skies may be truly falling but the play of imagination endures. Each poem tells its own tale.``
Ms Thorpe will be the featured poet at the March 6th London Open Mic Poetry Night at Mykonos Restaurant at 7:00 pm. She will read from her book Tendered Arms (2011).
