two (ok, four) more october events

First up is a cool little project, spearheaded by Catherine Owen, entitled "Hot Sonnets". It's a 14 month calendar featuring photos of 14 Vancouver poets by Patrik Jandak with a 14 line poem by each. Poets in the calendar are Maxine Gadd, Fred Wah, Steve Collis, Miranda Pearson, Warren Dean Fulton, Diane Tucker, Catherine Owen, Judith Copithorne, Sonnet L'Abbe, Heidi Greco, C.R. Avery, George Bowering, Sandy Shreve and Kate Braid. Here are the details:

Second up, as if in response to my poverty-stricken-poet routine in my original post on the Vancouver 125 Poetry Conference, the V125PC has added three free readings on Friday, October 21st. To make things simple for you, they will all take place at the exact same place as the "Hot Sonnets" launch. The details:
