Notes:
A document entitled “Want Slash Need and the others.doc” explains that at the time of this event, trans poet Julian Paquette was living on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia while working “on a collection of poems called ‘I Went Walking.’” Paquette opened the first set at Casa Del Popolo with poems about his transition called “My Masculinity,” “Secret Handshake,” as well as the collection’s titular poem. Trilingual poet and singer Valerie Curro Khayat read a poem divided into five chapters and punctuated by songs, including “Acontentase” by Italian artist Bruno Lauzi.
Angela Hibbs, author of “Passport, Wanton” (Insomniac 2009) and “Sin Eater” (Arp Press 2014), rounded off the first set with a poetry reading featuring both old and new work. In the second set, West coast “poet, musician, and activist” Anomaly performed a number of pieces, including one which incorporated a portion of “At The Bird’s Foot” by City and Colour, and two poems entitled “Bystander Intervention” and “Firefighting.” Want Slash Need, a group led by composer and multi-instrumentalist Geof Holbrook, with Pemi Paull on viola, J.C. Lizotte on cello, and Louise Campbell on bass clarinet, performed for the final half hour of the night, a set which included a song entitled “Construction Paper” that Holbrook wrote while alone in the woods.
