	Linda K. Thompson's Poetry Reading On August 6th we had Linda K. Thompson at the Museum for a poetry reading. Linda's writing is influenced by both the emerald landscape of Vancouver Island and her childhood home in the beautiful Pemberton Valley. The rich soil of that Valley seems to cling to her no matter the number of years she is away. Voices of family and ancestors make their way onto her pages. She is compelled to record, to save their whispered stories. We saw a total of 11 guests for the reading. A few of Linda's old friends showed up to support her. We are hoping she can come back for another reading next season. Visit Linda's website to find out more about her and to read some of her poetry. http://www.lindakthompson.com/ Watch Video
