An initiative to bring an entertaining diversion into the lives of those negatively affected by isolation during the pandemic is as close as the nearest phone.
The Poetry Phone, a project launched today (February 5) by the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association (DVBIA), features recordings of 10 local writers reading their works.
The recordings, according to a February 5 DVBIA release, are intended for those less comfortable or unfamiliar with newer forms of technology. This project aims to bring a new and accessible format of uplifting entertainment to anyone who has felt the effects of social isolation that this past year has brought.
