I believe it has something to do with my having the shortest name of anyone in the group. Though *this just in* Evelyn "same number of letters in her name" Lau has been added to the bill. Too late for me to have company on the poster, though...
Anyway, I'll be reading my almost-accepted ("not-totally-rejected"?) poem, "Ouchton Bay, Cape Scott, Kwakiutl Territory" (thanks, Prairie Fire, for originally publishing it), along with a poem or two from The Other Side of Ourselves, and one poem actually included in the anthology, Al Rempel's "We Love Bananas" (because, well, how can one resist a title like that?). It should be a great evening.
The details, in case you don't like looking at posters:

Rob, you can add Evelyn Lau to the Feb. 4th reading. She will be able to make it.
Thanks for posting.
PS
I somehow knew you will pick "i love bananas"
so I did not claim it. :-)
Yes, it's well known that I go bananas at every possible opportunity.
I've added the info about Evelyn - thanks!
good to be long-listed with ya. have a great reading!
Thanks, Pearl.
All us long-listers should have a launch where a host introduces us and the titles of our poems, but then no one gets up to read anything. ;)
he he
calling once
calling twice
PPS
and what of those that are not in it? Not even name calling...:-)
The host just scans the audience, looking at each non-contributor in awkward silence for a moment or two...
