Raving Poets Host C.R. Avery!
If you missed last week’s Raving Poets Super Special Edition Open Stage with the Fabulous Michelle Boudreau on guitar (Thomas), you missed an incredible night of poetry and music doing the two backed-beast. (Yes, Thomas, you missed it all and we drank your beer.) Michelle, being the star of the show, rocked out with Randall Edwards on beatbox and guitar and Gord McRae on drums. (Supposedly, it was Thomas’s 70th birthday, but who counting?) The evening shone with sixteen amazing poets, including, among many others, the splendiferous Rebecca Traquair, the hirsute Gary Lee and the not hirsute Corey Hamilton. (And it was all missed by Thomas, who, if the truth be known, was off selling his seventh book to a slavering horde of female Can Lit lovers.)
Next week the Raving Poets host Super-Duper Special Guest C.R.Avery (www.cravery.com) who will regale the audience with spoken word fabulousness and beatbox stupendouslyness. Don’t miss it!
