Wednesday, March 14th: I'll be reading at the Jewish Public Library in Montreal:
Canada Council Readings with Wine and Cheese Program Presents:
"Cloven": A Reading of New and Selected Poems by Jason Camlot
Wednesday, March 14, 2007. 6:30pm.
Jewish Public Library, 5151 Côte Ste-Catherine Free admission • Info: (514) 345-2627 ext. 3017
Jason Camlot reads early and recent poems exploring the mysteries of distance that define our relationship to time, place and self. Critic Marjorie Perloff calls him "a remarkable poet" and poet David Trinidad says that Camlot "valiantly fights the good fight: against conformity and numbness, against that which excludes poetry from daily life." The registers of the poems read on this evening's program will range from the heartbreaking to the hilarious. Not to be missed.
