You're right, it was a Poets union reading, but the wine & beer were
flowing, & a good time wa had by all (or, at least, we had a good time).
In Edmonton, last year, a couple of grad students decided we needed a bar
reading series, so they started one. Good fun, again, once a month. And
pretty good turnouts too. And there's a Stroll of Poets which organizes
readings in coffesshops. And this one bookstore that has a lot of them.

He saw the dark as a ragged garment
spread out to air.
Through its rents and moth-holes
the silver light came pouring.
