Spring Events
London – Leeds – Glasgow – Edinburgh – Paris – Montréal
In May, I’ll head to the UK and to France to launch Convivialities, with a few of the events featuring Aural Poetics as well.
Friends and friends of friends in London, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Paris, please come out and join us for these gatherings – it’s an interesting mix of readings, listening sessions, and conversations with folks I admire very much.
At the end of the trip, I’ll return home to Montréal to celebrate Convivialities alongside Cecily Nicholson and Jeff Derksen with their excellent new books Crowd Source and Future Works. The three of us are planning something special for the evening – at Galerie Eli Kerr –and I’ll share further details in the time ahead.
