Notes:
To celebrate reaching the landmark 100th Words and Music Show, a wide range of musical and poetic acts were invited to participate in a packed night of performances by both W&M regulars and newcomers. Some of the night’s highlights include spoken word by Fortner Anderson and Kaie Kellough, sound performances in both French and English by interdisciplinary artists D. Kimm, Alexis O’Hara, and T.L. Cowan, experimental sound and music from Pharmakon MTL, and French spoken word poetry set to music by Genevieve Letarte. The night also featured a special appearance and reading by renowned Nepalese-Indian poet Yuyutsu R.D. Sharma and an auction of copies of “Leonard Cohen, You’re Our Man: 75 Poets Reflect on the Poetry of Leonard Cohen” (Foundation for Public Poetry 2009) presided over by the book’s editor, Jack Locke, created to raise funds for the Montreal Slam Team. Ian Ferrier closed the evening by playing a musical/spoken word performance by Taqralik Partridge and musician Guido Del Fabbro originally performed and recorded at the Tusarniq Festival.
