Notes:
A document entitled “This Sunday May 22nd the Words.doc” reveals that the May 2016 edition of the Words and Music Show featured “3 new books, two travelling poets, one great band and a Wild Hunt from Saltspring Island.” Klara du Plessis read “Conveyor Belt” and other works in English and Afrikaans from her chapbook “Wax Lyrical” (Anstruther Press 2015), ending with ”Venus De Milo Versus Venus in Furs.” Though Ferrier promoted Jack Hannan’s “The Poet is a Radio” (Linda Leith Publishing 2016), Hannan decided to read work from a series called “The Afternoon in Dreams.” Alessandra Naccarato, one of the “founding member[s] of Montreal’s Throw Poetry Collective,” performed a piece commissioned for Sheri-D Wilson’s “School Of Thought” festival and two more from her album “Alessandra Naccarato & The Wild Hunt.” In the second set, Toronto poet Dane Swan performed a number of poems/songs, some of which appear in his book “A Mingus Lullaby” (Guernica Editions 2016). Frederique Roy and Simon Labbé closed the night with a series of atmospheric songs sung in French.
