Love poetry? You may want to mark Dec. 20 on your calendar.

That's the night of the Burnaby Writers' Society's next Spoken Ink event.

The poetry reading and open mike session is set for 8 p.m. at La Fontana Caffe, 101-3701 Hastings St., with open mike sign-up at 7:30 p.m.

This month's featured poet is Rob Taylor, an East Vancouver resident. Taylor's first poetry manuscript won the 2010 Alfred G. Bailey Prize and went on to be published as The Other Side of Ourselves in the spring of 2011 by Cormorant Books.

Taylor is the editor and co-founder of Ghana's first online poetry magazine, One Ghana, One Voice (www.oneghanaonevoice.com) and co-coordinator of Vancouver's Dead Poets Reading Series (www.deadpoetslive.com).

The Spoken Ink reading series runs on the third Tuesday of every months from September to June.
