Rideout’s blog

You can check me out reading some of my new poems on Lake Ontario Waterkeeper's latest radio show here.

I have a  poem in Lake - a journal of arts and the environment. It's an older poem that was written for Sarah Harmer's I Love the Escarpment tour.
You can see a video of a reading on that tour here.

I've got an article in the summer edition for Open Book Toronto about the fabulous charity I work for - Literature for Life.
Check it out.

GESTATION SERIES

NEWSFLASH:

Gestation Series has been revamped… it's now a genre slut! Beginning in January 2009, the series will expand to include poetry and fiction as well as plays.

It still takes place on the first Monday of each month starting at 8pm at The Cameron House (408 Queen St. W, Toronto) in the back room and is FREE!

The Birth Canal draw has also agreed to open its legs to genre- enter this draw and if you are chosen you will be allotted one month to write a text on an "inspiration" given that evening (it could be a topic, picture, line to include… who knows!). The Birth Canal work is presented at the next Gestation Series.

Just in time for the most creative of seasons I have an interview / reading coming up this Saturday, April 19 on CBC Radio's Definitely Not the Opera with the uber-cool Sook-Yin Lee. It should be on at the top of the second hour around 2:10 or so. Tune into the news and then listen to me say incredibly insightful things about superhero secret identities and on which date you should reveal yours to your new sweetheart. Tune in across the country or online at: http://www.cbc.ca/dnto/

And then, if you aren't sick of me, I've got some new work showing up online on April 21st in the new hot magazine In My Bedhttp://www.inmybedmagazine.com/index.html
