Concordia reading

I had such a nice time at the Concordia Alumni Reading yesterday. I was especially delighted to meet Gillian Sze, also a Concordia grad -- not only a lovely poet but a lovely person too, just shimmering with light. And how nice to see Moez again too!

Alumni reading at Concordia

I'm very much looking forward to reconnecting with some former classmates -- including Kate Hall, Moez Surani, Angela Hibbs, and John Goldbach -- from Concordia's MA program. We'll be reading tomorrow at this public event.

Speaking Words at Sutton's Jazz Festival

I'll be participating in the Spoken Word event in Sutton this afternoon as part of the annual Jazz Festival. My musical inspiration for this book was Satie, so reading to a jazz rhythm will be an interesting experiment. This is supposed to be an improv event, but I think just reading with an improvised musical accompaniment is as far as I'm ready to go. Still a little too attached to my written page!
