Thanks to all who attended last week's session. The "sleep" theme appears to have been a non-starter, as there were no contributions (at least, none ready to be presented).
Theo Heras, recently returned from Copenhagen and Paris, spoke about her new CD Seashell, Sing Me a Song and played us a couple of tracks from it. (More on this later.) Giovanna Riccio, recently returned from Italy, read several poems, some of which were inspired by her stay there. Celia Lottridge, recently returned from Tennessee, read a chapter from her YA novel Home is Beyond the Mountains. Courtney Fairweather, recently returned from B.C., spoke to us about her video project, which involved taping interviews with former classmates at a highschool reunion. (Mean girls, we were glad to hear, don't always have happy futures.) Diane Bracuk read from a short story concerning the fragile link between mother and daughter in the aftermath of a particularly reprehensible crime. Finally, we all did a cold reading of Bernard Kelly's short comic script Heist for Heist's Sake.
