The final launch of Moving to Delilah at Delilah with some poems, audience reaction, and a reboot of an interview with Katherine Autio that I had to re-record due to the heat frying my phone. A beautiful afternoon with music, art, fiction and snacks and drinks and excellent conversation also. Enjoy!

The final installment of my Moving to Delilah book tour featuring a Toronto preamble, then 3 days in Kingston, Hamilton and back for 2 days in Toronto. Reading and gatherings and traveling and eating and conversations galore! Interspersed by a Bruce Kauffman reading of his poem “moon,” my piece from the Wolfe Island Graveyard, Li-Young Lee’s To Hold as one of my home poems we discussed and ending with a too-quiet but beautiful fragment of Robert Priest singing and playing the Home Song. Enjoy all you outlaws of poetry!!

Of Edmonton, Calgary, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge. I chat all things road trip and performing, starting with a poem I wrote in a hotel. It’s a blast. Enjoy outlaws!

Plus bird songs and a poem from Yeats. Enjoy :) Goodbye BC! I love you.

In which I first walk in the woods, then read a poem by a Palestinian poet on lost homes, I grumble about empty virtue signalling without artistic substance and glory in the performance, friends and reviews. Enjoy!

Including a Gathering, a Conor Kerr poem, some poetry etiquette, a reading at Planet Earth and gratitude. Enjoy!

And elsewhere in the Lower Mainland at poetry readings and gatherings. Talking about the bookbox prior to leaving Edmonton. Reading The Hairbrush by Kayla Czaga. Grrrrring and glorying. Enjoy outlaws!

In which I read Shakespeare’s Sonnet 62 and speak about the vanity of the artist, the need to transcend for performance, and what my experience was like launching Moving to Delilah for the first time at the Olive series at the Rooster Kitchen for the Edmonton Poetry Festival. Enjoy!

The most amazing way to end Season 10 and its host of long conversations with women poets. Sue and I rave about imaginal goo, forests, Suzuki, the need for connection, the need for a living wage for those who have committed their lives to an art form and practice, the need for transformation within each book via multimedia and participatory means. And we swear a bit. Because we are smart as fuck outlaws. And of course Sue reads polyvocal and stirring pieces from her 2022 collection Monoculture. And first I chat about mostly poetic glories and how Sue and I met 23 years ago and then met and met again. Enjoy! Season 11 will be me on the road with Moving to Delilah :)

Two 19th c Canadian women poets who aren’t really read anymore but I read two of their poems and chat about their ill-begotten lives. Also some grrrs and glories! And a lyric for Chris on his death day. Enjoy!
