Lost Launches I

Please join me at the inaugural event in an ongoing series, Lost Launches, 7pm, March 29, 2022, at the Art Bar (Clinton’s, 693 Bloor W, Toronto). In my role as Toronto’s Poet Laureate, I am proud to help launch books of poetry whose proper entrance into the world was stymied by the Covid-19 crisis. With the support of The City of Toronto, The League of Canadian Poets, and the Art Bar, I am proud to begin this series by selecting the work of these seven poets:

George Elliot Clarke, White (Gaspereau)
Jean Eng, Festival of All Souls (Inana)
Joe Fiorito, All I Have Learned Is Where I Have Been (Véhicule)
Catherine Graham, Æther: An Out-of0Body Lyric (Wolsak and Wynn)
Khashayar Mohammadi, Me, You, Then Snow (Gordon Hill)
Lisa Richter, Nautilus and Bone (Frontenac)
Ray Robertson, The Old Man in the Mirror Isn’t Me: Last Call Haiku (Exile)

This inaugural Lost Launches event will be hosted by my friend and fellow poet Kate Marshall Flaherty. And the series will continue at the Art Bar on the final Tuesday of each month through June. Look for more event postings here on my website!
