Tidbit #1: That radio interview
I mentioned earlier is now online. You can listen to it
here (my part is the first fifteen-minute segment).
On it I talk with Stephen Buckley about
High Altitude Poetry,
The Other Side of Ourselves and the
Dead Poets Reading Series. Thanks so much to Stephen and the
Politics Re-Spun team for the interview, and congrats to Coop Radio on moving to their new frequency (and getting a new
Seattle Sounders-esque logo)!
Tidbit #2: Remember how
I mentioned that my poem "The Slave Castle of Elmina" had been "found" by
Geist. Well, now their website has found it too! You can read it online
here.
Thanks, Geist!
Tidbit #3: Have you heard about
49th Shelf? It's a Canadian
Goodreads - a place to keep track of all the books you've read that are
set in 1955, and give them polite, encouraging reviews.
Ok, you've probably already heard of it. It's been around for a while. But I'm bringing it up now because
a certain book has recently been added to the site, and it could really use your polite, encouraging reviews! And because I still think those 1955 jokes are funny and I was looking for an excuse to make one?
Tidbit #4: Literary listings in Vancouver just got even better. If
nofuncity.com,
Pandora's Collective's Community Calendar, and the
FBCW's Vox Blog weren't enough for ya, the
Vancouver Book Club has you covered. Their calendar, which is probably the most complete calendar in the city, can be viewed
here.
Thanks, VBC!
Tidbit #5: Over at
One Ghana, One Voice we've wrapped up our series of poems memorialising late Ghanaian President John Atta Mills (I
blogged about the series a while ago). You can read the whole series of 35 (!) poems
here.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this series such a success.
