This is it! The National Poetry Month event you've all been waiting for, whether you knew it or not! Join four of the most diverse and entertaining poets around for an evening of poetic thrills, chills and spills. They've all got books out this year, so what better way to show your support? (It's PWYC so you have enough money left over to buy a copy of everyone's collections.)CHARLIE PETCH brings infectious wit and transmasculine theatrics. His INFINITE AUDITIONS (Brick Books) -- an irresistible book brimming with frenetic life -- is one of the breakout titles of the current year.
GUY ELSTON plays with your head in the very best way. Read THE CHARACTER ACTOR CONVENTION (Porcupine's Quill) to find out why the use of mashed potatoes to simulate ice cream in advertisements is an act of betrayal.
Spoken word powerhouse MURGATROYD MONAHAN will crank up the heat with her social commentary. We can all do better, and in white spaces where we learn to breathe (Off Topic), she shows us how.
Finally, RICHARD-YVES SITOSKI will put the "fun" in family dysfunction with A CURRENT THROUGH THE FLESH (Ronsdale Press), a dry and wry examination of intergenerational traumedy.
Seriously. You should go.
