Tonight! Carmine Starnino and Julie Bruck poetry showcase!

Please join us tonight, Friday, September 28 at 7pm at the Drawn + Quarterly store (211 Bernard O.) for a poetry showcase by Montreal-bred poets Carmine Starnino and Julie Bruck. They will be reading from their new collections. Between Starnino's rousing, sure-to-be controversial essay collection on Canadian poetry, Lazy Bastardism (Gaspereau Press), and the "antic sensuality" of Bruck's poems in Monkey Ranch (Brick Books), expect to be thoroughly entertained!

There's also this recent article by Russell Smith on how poetry is enjoying a renaissance in Canada. 

Come see what all the fuss is about.
