The series turned five in May of 2003, which is when I took it over from Paul Vermeersch. It's every other Friday night, either published or promising readers (ideally people come out to see an established reader and catch sight of a promising one) at 326 Dundas St W, across from the Art Gallery of Ontario. It's free, and always at 8pm. Listings can usually be found in NOW or EYE and WORD, the literary calendar. The Danforth Review published an interview with me at around the time I took over hosting the series. |
