Video: Talon’s Spring 2014 Poetry Launch in Vancouver

Did you miss this year’s spring poetry launches in Calgary and Vancouver? Fret not; the footage is here!

Five writers read from their latest books at the Western Front in Vancouver on April 30, 2014: one wonderful author of very short fiction – M.A.C. Farrant (The World Afloat) – and four fantastic poets – Cecily Nicholson (From the Poplars), Catriona Strang (Corked), Natalie Simpson (Thrum), and Nikki Reimer (DOWNVERSE).

The launch was hosted by two 2013 Talon poets, Dina Del Bucchia and Daniel Zomparelli, and books were sold by staff of Vancouver’s local, independent book store, the Paper Hound. Thanks to everyone who attended! We’ll see you at next year’s poetry launch!
