rob sells books at the made in alta vista market, participates in an above/ground press zoom reading + an upcoming in-person ottawa reading,

In case you hadn't heard, I’ll be tabling at the Made in Alta Vista Market in Ottawa on Thursday, May 29 at the Jim Tubman Chevrolet Rink, 2185 Arch Street (outside the Canterbury Recreation Complex), from 4-8pm, sitting a table attempting to sell copies of various of my books and chapbooks; you should totally show up. Curious to think we’ve been in this house long enough that I’ve now a handful of books now entirely composed here. Also next week, check out the above/ground press ZOOM launch we’re doing on Wednesday, May 28, 7pm EDT, with myself reading alongside Orchid Tierney (OH), Meredith Quartermain (BC), Brook Houglum (BC), Sandra Doller (NY) and Tom Jenks (UK), all of whom have recent above/ground press titles. Check here to join the event. I’m also reading in Ottawa on June 1, 2pm with Christine McNair and Amanda Earl at The Lieutenant’s Pump, 361 Elgin Street, most likely from unpublished work, including a short story and a handful of poems. I’ve been working on all sorts of things lately that you probably don’t know about. Secret, exciting things. (probably).

two upcoming (zoom) readings: Feb 15 (Poets Corner Reading Series) + Mar 15 (Lunch Poems at SFU)

So apparently I'm reading (virtually) twice in Vancouver over the next few weeks!

February 15: reading at Poets Corner Reading Series with Zoe Dickinson, Hannah Yerington and Catherine Lewis (a hybrid event, so in-person is possible for those in the Vancouver area). And there's even an open set! And I even recorded a video of me reading a short poem for the sake of their promotion, which they've posted to their YouTube channel. 7:30pm Pacific time. And who knows? I might even have a new chapbook by then.

March 15 (my birthday!): reading at Lunch Poems at SFU with Calgary poet and publisher Kyle Flemmer! noon-1pm Pacific time.
