Vallum Magazine's Cafe/Culture Reading Series

For some reason, I can't find the post where I talk about my performance at Vallum Magazine's Cafe/Culture Reading Series on Saturday, October 24th at 7PM. Well then, here it is! I hope all you Montrealers get a chance to come out and enjoy a nice evening of poetry! See you there!

it was Throw-mania!

Sunday night's show exceeded all hopes and dreams! Not only did I get to record an awesome CD with the Throw Collective, I got to share a stage with more than 15 unbelievable poets! A huge thank you to Chris Masson who invited me to be on the CD, and to the other poets for pouring their heart out to inspire the masses, including me! Can't wait for the next show!!!

another beautiful lawn chair soirée (without the lawn chairs)

I'm glad I didn't give in to my exhaustion and instead joined Jan at the lawn chair soirée yesterday! It was a great night of poetry (as usual) and the wonderful feedback I got from the poets and the audience was so encouraging...

Thank you again, Jan, for hosting such a pleasant monthly event!

3, 2, 1, Throw!

Come out on October 19th to Casa Del Popolo at 7PM to see me perform with the Throw Poetry Collective of Montreal! This is one show you definitely don't want to miss - it is going to be unbelievable!

Great Poetry Festival

The Montreal Public Poetry Festival was fantastic!!!

That Brown @$!@%&! and I rocked the stage together in what felt like such short sets! The other poets were amazing, and so warm and encouraging!

A huge thank you must go out to Jack Locke, who put his heart and soul into making this event the success it was!

I can't wait for the 2009 festival!
