I’m reading on Wednesday in hometown St. John’s as part of the Writers’ Alliance’s reading series. I’ll be reading with young buck Stephen Rowe, whose first book I edited for Nightwood Editions, so it should be a nice family affair. Please come out if you can.

Well, I’m back from Ireland where the reading at Fighting Words went swimmingly. It was a good crowd and there were some people I admire deeply in attendence. Below is a picture of yours truly at the brilliantly realized Fighting Words Centre with Irish novelist Roddy Doyle and poet Paul Durcan.

If you’re in Ireland, I can’t recommend the Fighting Words program enough. Check it out and get involved. The people are fantastic and the facilities are top notch. I wish we had something like this in Canada! Perhaps we do and I don’t know. Regardless, I was happy to be asked and pleased to meet such an attentive, intelligent audience. Thanks to Roddy and Sean Love for inviting me!
Just a reminder (typed from a hotel in Belfast) that I’ll be reading in Dublin a week today. All the details below. If you’re in Dublin, or anyone you know who likes poetry is, please note the info below:
