two upcoming readings (& another one) & two chapbooks:

I've got two upcoming readings happening in Montreal and Ottawa (with a third down the road in Toronto); will I see you there?

Montreal QC: rob mclennan reads with Anne Cimon and Boris Kletinich as part of the Atwater Poetry Project, Atwater Library, 1200 Atwater Library (see map here), 7pm, Thursday, February 16, 2006. Info: Oana Avasilichioaei at oana@inorbit.com

Ottawa ON: rob mclennan reads as part of the TREE Reading Series, 8pm, Tuesday, March 14, 2006 (twelve hours and fifteen minutes before I turn 36) at the Royal Oak II, Laurier Avenue East (map). free; open set & featured reader: Info: Rhonda Douglas at rhonda.douglas@sympatico.ca

For the events, I've got two new publications happening:

six strains: variations (above/ground press), $5
; from the work-in-progress variations: plunder verse

& nine small(er) essays (above/ground press), $6
; from (partly) the collection of essay forthcoming from ECW Press in fall 2007

If anyone is interested in either of these, & you can't make it to either reading, send me a cheque (with $1 each for postage etc.; outside Canada, send in US funds & add $2 each) to 858 Somerset Street West, main floor, Ottawa Ontario Canada K1R 6R7.

Folk in Toronto will have to wait until Tuesday, June 6th at 8pm, as I read as part of the Art Bar Reading Series. The Victory Cafe, 581 Markham St, Toronto (hopefully a few days earlier I'll be participating in the Toronto Small Press Book Fair).
