Tonight I'll make a go at another rare night out to the Scream launch to see some of my favourite poets read (more on this below). It'll be so cool to see Stuart Ross read my stuff!

Also: Saturday night (July 5th) the Scream's Book-length Dinner Reading: Gwendolyn MacEwen’s A Breakfast for Barbarians. Be there or be square.

T
he Scream launches this year’s festival with a conceit: well-known poets will take the stage with the work of notable younger poet in hand. In a rare homage to the next generation of poetic talent, these established performers will highlight up-and-comers by reading published and unpublished work by a new poet of their choosing:

Stuart Ross reads Evie Christie
Priscila Uppal reads Jason Guriel
Kevin Connolly reads Gabe Foreman
Ken Babstock reads Michael Lista
Emily Schultz, author of the Trillium nominated Songs for the Dancing Chicken, will also read the winning poems of this year’s EYE WEEKLY Poetry Contest. The night will also feature the introduction of two new Scream-savvy web projects: The Scream Archive and Joyland: A Hub for Short Fiction.
