Readings: Bayliss Public Library

A fun night at the lovely Bayliss Library in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
Again, it was a stormy evening. What is it with me and stormy evenings?
The first snow storm of the year, with a sour wind, slammed us on our way to the reading.
Thank you to Susan and Ken, and everyone at the Superior Poetry Cafe for organizing the event.
Photos to follow.

No other news.

Reading Seamus Heaney's Human Chain and Brenda Hillman's Pieces of Air in the Epic. Both are marvelous for different reasons.

The Ted Plantos Memorial Award

I’ve just received word from The Ontario Poetry Society that a few of the poems from Ghost Music have won the Ted Plantos Memorial Award.

It’s a tremendous honour and I am thrilled. More about this at the TOPS website, and more available here later.

Book Tour: Sault Ste. Marie Public Library

What a wonderful evening at the Sault Public Library. I've been told that 74 people squeezed into the Story Room for poems and songs. A crowd that size is a rare and beautiful thing, and I thank everyone for coming out and for spreading the word. I hope to post some photos (maybe some video footage) from the evening. Thank you for your support.
