Notes:
The script for the April 17th, 2016 Words and Music Show radio ad describes this event as “a special performance and party featuring poets from the League of Canadian Poets.” The Casa Del Popolo stage was populated by “a Who’s Who of the Montreal poetry scene,” including League representative Fortner Anderson who read “Tense Times,” written by Ashraf Fayadh. Rebecca Banks read a piece dedicated to her cat from her book “Tango Blue Arias” (CreateSpace Independent Publishing 2016), while poet and translator Hugh Hazelton dedicated “Swing Dance” to his daughter, Edith, and read “Blind Man’s Bluff,” a poem translated from Portuguese. Kelly Norah Drukker also read two pieces entitled “At the Seven Churches” and “Les Cagots.” Brian Campbell then read elegiac poems “Variety” and “Joe Dubois 1929-96” from “Shimmer Report” (Ekstasis Editions 2015). After the intermission, Maxianne Berger read a haiku from her book “Winnows” (Imago Press 2016) and another piece in five parts repurposing lines from the poetry of E.E. Cumings. Ferrier also read a piece called “Oh My Sisters” before the final act, Stefan Christoff, played an instrumental on piano.
