Hello hello, my pretties. I wish you were a litter of kittens so I could hear you purr.
Anyway, former In/Words editor and Conduit founder Peter Gibbon will be back in Ottawa for a few days this weekend after two years in Korea and Australia. To celebrate, share new poetry and raise money for our supportive friends at VERSeFest, we’re having a reading on Sunday July 15 at 8 PM in the basement of the Clocktower Brew Pub (575 Bank St).
Up for sale/auction/raffle will be:
1) The newest In/Words chapbook, Martians Among Us by Shai Ben-Shalom
2) Copies of Conduit 1/YES 20
3) Classic In/Words titles from our archive lair
The evening, hosted by the inimitable Dave Currie, will include an opening set by Shai, a featured set by Peter and very brief readings by Cameron Anstee, Jeff Blackman, jesslyn delia, Jenna Jarvis, Rachael Simpson and Bardia Sinaee.
Don’t forget to RSVP on Facebook. We request a $5 “at the door” donation for VERSeFest.
Be there or you’ll probably die alone!
