Canio’s Cultural Cafe will celebrate Earth Day a few days early on Saturday, April 20 at 5
p.m. We’re calling for friends of the Earth to come read a short selection
of poetry or prose that expresses concern for the Earth. Read a work of
your own, or of some wonderful nature writer you greatly admire. If you
need ideas, pick up a copy of Orion magazine’s current issue in stock at
the shop.
At our Earth Day read-in, we’ll announce an essay contest on a theme of
environmental awareness. Perhaps you’d like to participate in that, and we
hope you’ll tell others about it. One of the prizes will be a one-year gift subscription to the excellent nature and culture magazine, Orion, now in its 30th year.

Spring is somewhere out there even if temperatures are chilly and there’s snow in the forecast. Still we can dream about that garden we’d love to dig into. If you’re ready to dig into some new writing, get ready for our Earth Day essay contest, soon to be announced by Canio’s Cultural Cafe. We’re interested in creating awareness of our one precious Earth, and this essay contest is just one way we’ll be doing that this year. One of the prizes will be a gift subscription to Orion magazine, an elegant and eloquent periodical about nature and culture. Pick up the latest issue and be inspired! Stay tuned for contest details coming soon. On Saturday, April 20 we’ll announce the topic and invite you to speak up for Earth!
