Please join me for the third evening in an ongoing series, Lost Launches, 7pm, May 31, 2022, at the Art Bar (Clinton’s, 693 Bloor W, Toronto). In my role as Toronto’s Poet Laureate, I have been involved in helping re-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, the series continues…with a twist. My co-organizers have asked me to read from my own pandemic-published, As Far As You Know , along with those eight poets I chose for this month’s reading. Taking over as emcee for the night will be fellow poet Kate Marshall Flaherty!
THIS MONTH’S POETS:
Edward Carson, Whereabouts, McGill-Queens, 2021
Beatriz Hausner, Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart, Book*hug, 2020
James Lindsay, Double Self-Portrait, Wolsak & Wynn, 2020
