Denise Desautels rocks the house

Howdy!

Holy Smokes and wowsuh! As you might have known, tonight Patrick Warner was launching There, there, here tonight. As is normal with most poetry launches, there's a reading that goes along with it. For the most part the poetry readings that have happened here in the past have been multiple author affairs. I thought, however, that this one was going to be a solo show.

Boy was I mistaken! Carmine Starnino (he looks better in real life than in that photo, honest) somehow arranged for a second poet to read. And what a poet! Ms. Denise Desautels herself. What do you think of them bones? And here I thought being promised to meet a Governor General's Award Winner was the cat's meow.

Oh, and she reads quite well.
