off to van...


I'm flying to Vancouver tomorrow for the League of Canadian Poets' Annual Conference/Fest. There I'll take part in AGM-type meetings, seminars, readings and book launches -- including another launch of Passenger Flight. Will spend a few days afterwards visiting the town. May I have at least one afternoon on one of it's many beaches -- although the forecast looks a little cool yet. I'll be visiting a few relatives there -- including an uncle (who I haven't seen since I was about 15) who celebrated his hundredth birthday this year!

I have read with interest your very comprehensive list of journals & reviews. Thought you might be interested in checking out one of my favorite online literary mags: Narrative magazine (www.narrativemagazine.com). They actually have a poetry contest running as we speak - the First Annual. Deadline is July 18, info at http://narrativemagazine.com/node/53403.

I'm the poet and composer who heard you read at ArtBar in Toronto a few weeks ago and was introduced by Ross M. -- have been enjoying the style, range and wit in Passenger Flight. Love the clouds in Blowze and elsewhere. (My dad was a meteorologist!)

Thanks, Roger! It's always nice to get such positive feedback from buyers. Thanks Svilen! and narrative magazine, I missed your deadline... my own narrative with this blog being unwittingly interrupted, as a post above explains.
