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

'Tis the season:
I'll be participating in a CBC reading of A Christmas Carol, along with Nora Young. In Thornhill next week. Come on out for a little holiday cheer!
Time: Thursday December 13, 2007, 7:30pm.
Place: Thornhill Presbyterian Church, 271 Centre Street, Thornhill.
Tickets: $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, $7.50 for children

Dickens

I'm coming out of hiding, out of hibernation and will be reading in St. Catharine's in a couple of weeks.

Tuesday May 8th, @ 730pm
The Merchant Ale House
(98 St. Paul Street, St. Catharines)
featuring
Jordan Scott, Erinn Knight, Tanis Rideout and Adam Dickinson

Come check it out. I don't have any idea what I'll be reading, but it will be new. Maybe poems about streetcars. Maybe poems about sex and torture. Maybe poems about the Toronto suburbs after the apocalypse.

If you're needing some inspiration for Valentine's Day next week check out CBC's Bandwidth with the oh-so-charming Alan Neal on Saturday at 5pm. Alan and I talked muses, love, sex and of course, comic books. Outside of Ontario, or in Toronto, you can listen online.

Saturday, February 10th:
The Unlikely Muse...
As you're pondering love poetry and trying to get inspired for Valentine's Day, we'll look at some artists who take their inspiration from unlikely (and in some cases) unhealthy sources...
including comic-book superheroines, African rivers and cows... and one "homage" to an 80's child star that might be a case of the Muse not being amused.
Tune in for musing on muses on Bandwidth...
(plus it's your chance to win tickets to the Bandwidth Black History Month concert!)

December - at the end of the week - which yay Advent calendars, and Christmas carols, and lots of parties.
And the annual reading of A Christmas Carol.
Come and check me out in full Victorian garb. I'll be reading the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come and trying not to cry.
