Poetry, Prose, Song, and Censorship: An Awesome Evening at Words of the Season


Last night, I had the pleasure to read at the Writers’ Community of Durham Region’s “Words of the Season in Poetry, Prose, and Song,” at Trinity Irish Pub and Restaurant in Whitby, Ontario. Despite slow (and expensive) service, and a bit of censorship (according to our MC, the management are puritans), we had a great evening.



I read an excerpt from chapter two of Underground, “A Gentleman’s Education.”  I have to admit, I was a little worried about reading a dissection scene after the management’s request for “no more references to bodily functions.”  Despite the perhaps not-so-supper-friendly subject matter, the piece was very well received.  To read “A Gentleman’s Education,” and other chapters from Underground, visit www.cmgbooks.com/5.html.



Thanks to everyone who turned out to read and be read to, and thanks to the organizers of the event for putting together such an awesome night.

  4. Heya just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images
    aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think
    its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.

  7. An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that you
    should publish more on this issue, it may not be a taboo subject but usually people do not discuss these issues.
    To the next! All the best!!
