Wow. There is a fully loaded Mac Truck of poetry headed for Edmonton. It's packed to the gills; its break-lines are cut; it's set to slam into Alberta's capital this September 17th-24th! Edmonton Poetry Festival is coming to town, bigger, badder, louder than you've ever heard it before!
It is going to be a wild ride! All the details can be found at the Edmonton Poetry Festival website. In particular, keep your eyes out for a few events I'll be involved with:
CORTEX (The Cortex—a mind-blowing multimedia display mixing art, dance, poetry, and music)
The Roar LitCrawl (The Roar's poetic pub-crawl of the best spoken word from Edmonton and beyond; Mike Appleby, Adam Snider, Nicole Pakan, and I will be rocking the mic at The Fabulous Leprechaun Burlesque)
Small Words, Big Moments (DailyHaiku print journal launch and haiku workshop... with tea!).
Coffee Lines (Edmonton poets storm downtown coffee spots for an afternoon of public poetry).
Also, for those Zen-ishly inclined, DailyHaiku is now accepting submissions for our next contributor cycle until September 30, 2007. Write haiku? Love haiku? Send us a submission; we'd love to see a sample of your work!
