HEY WINDSOR: Signed copies of ZZOO — in all 5 cover variants! — are now available waaaaay ahead of the street date (which is Feb 15) at Biblioasis Bookshop … we stopped in to double-sign a stack of copies yesterday … get them in advance while they last.
Thank-you to everyone who attended yesterday: we LOVED doing our ‘APPROACHES TO COLLABORATION’ Workshop for VERSeFest Ottawa — it was a great opportunity to look at what we do, how it overlaps and differs with other collaborative projects, and to put some terms to the various approaches one can take …
… many thanks to Monty Reid, Avonlea Fotheringham, Stephen Brockwell & Vivian Vavassis of VERSeFest for all the behind-the-scenes help; to Manahil Bandukwala and Tom Prime for making special appearances during our presentation and discussing their own experiences with collaborations; and to Lee Parpart, John Oughton, Renee Sgroi, Carol A Stephen & Veronique Boyer for the great questions during the Q & A period!
This Sun Nov 14 at 2pm, we’re presenting a FREE workshop called ‘Approaches to Collaboration’ as part of 2021 VERSeFest Ottawa … please join us (on ZOOM) if you want to learn more about collaborative writing!
… Register N-O-W at 💥 versefest.ca 💥 to get a seat at the head of the class 🙂
Thnx to everyone who attended yesterday’s BY THE RIVER lunchtime ZOOM reading — it was great to share the virtual stage with Karl Jirgens who performed some outrageous & literate works; both MA|DE members focused exclusively on presenting their solo works for this particular event, due to a time crunch we tabled our collaborative work, but hopefully we’ll read at this series again at some point in the future!
👁 For those who missed it, the reading is available in its entirety now at the BY THE RIVER READINGS YouTube channel here
This Wed Apr 14, let’s do lunch: both members of MA|DE are doing solo readings of recent work (as well as a set of collaborative poems, of course) — and Karl Jirgens (of RAMPIKE fame) is also on the bill!
BY THE RIVER READING SERIES, 12:30pm via ZOOM … join us!
