Coach House Fall Poetry Launch!
October 7, 2019
We gathered 'round this evening to welcome Andrew Zawacki, K.B. Thors, and Vincent Pagé for the Coach House Fall Poetry Launch featuring their latest: Unsun, Vulgar Mechanics, and This is the Emergency Present!
Andrew: "There’s a chair up there!"
Kara: "It would feel weird to sit in it though. Maybe you will, Vincent."
Vincent did not sit in the chair.
Gratophoph - a son’s attempt to say photograph.
"This is not a waiting room for souls - it is modern, totally unwindowed."
"We are not separated on the journey - my mouth keeps springing open."
On Montreal: "I was told this is my home reading - I did just move here."
"I’m reading this for my friend Amy who I’m so glad is into Star Trek!"
Reading from Resting Bitch Face Daughter of Thor: "Bodies at rest will stay at rest. Bodies in motion will pussyfoot several extra blocks to go anywhere other than home… What if everyone had hammers on their garters walking the street?"
Tank Top "...this goes out to all the Tops out there."
Reading from Armistice:
"Give me hackneyed words because they are
What’s left in the end...
Throw me from a cliff
Plz & thx
Xoxo"
"So I didn't wear a helmet
So I stopped crossing streets in designated crossing areas
So I fed a raccoon some Pringles"
