Our Feb. 23 launch was a smashing success, thanks to all our fantastic authors/readers and everyone who made it out on such a cold night. You warmed our hearts. We hope our books warm yours.

The GBs (Gary Barwin & Gregory Betts) perform THE OBVIOUS FLAP, a performance text with dialogue, mixed-media & sound poetry, at The A B Series at The Mercury Lounge (56 ByWard Market) on February 20, 2008. Doors open at 7:30 pm, show at 8 pm.

In other news, The Emergency Response Unit is releasing a collaborative chapbook of theirs called Chora Sea. It’s great, and will be available for purchase on February 20 in Ottawa and on February 23 in Toronto at our fabulous launch party.

That’s right, we’re finally launching our first round of chapbooks, just in time to get you out of the house on a cold February evening.
