Dusty Owl, which is a hoot or too, will be this Sunday, March 6th, 5 p.m.
This time the Dusty Owl Reading Series will be featuring Sean Moreland with the band Call Me Katie playing.
Note the change of venue: it’s temporarily relocated to the upstairs at The Carleton Tavern.
I’ll be hosting, poetry goggles engaged. You wouldn’t want to miss that.

Poems For All are tiny chapbooks, bigger than a postage stamp, smaller than a piece of i.d. with one poem per.

One of these years I’ll get myself to the Zen Poetry Festival in Montreal. This year it’s March 10-13.
