Last night was the illiterature. issue 1 launch & poetry reading. The weather outside was awful, but inside, we had fantastic readings, a very attentive audience and an incredible atmosphere. There were readings by Conor Barnes, Bruce Kauffman, Jason Heroux and Sarah Tsiang, all of which were great. Everyone stuck around for a while afterwards and enjoyed each others company, and everyone seemed pleased with how the night turned out. I couldn't have hoped for a better launch. Thanks to everyone for making it possible: everyone who read, Christine + Nick for helping with sales, Allison for taking so many wonderful photos, and to everyone who came out just to pick up a copy and to hear some poetry. I'm looking forward to issue 2!

if you haven't got a copy of illiterature. issue 1 yet, check out our Chapbooks page, or Contact Us.

On Monday April 23rd, come out to the Grad Club in Kingston at 7pm to pick up a copy of illiterature. issue 1. and also to hear some incredible poetry. Jason Heroux, Sarah Tsiang, Bruce Kauffman, & Conor Barnes will all be reading. There is also be a presentation of some new visual/concrete poetry by Derek Beaulieu.

If you are outside of Kingston and want a copy, they will be available to order on Monday as well.

After folding, stapling and gluing 100 copies of my new book I am both exhausted and incredibly exited to announce that Post Script, a book of afterthoughts is finished!

Check out the Chapbooks page to read two of the poems and for ordering options.

On another note, illiterature. issue 1 is coming along well. At this point it's down to some fine tuning with editing and formatting. I'm also in the process of establishing a Launch Date/Reading. Keep tuned because that will be something you will NOT want to miss.

Over & Out.
