Candace de Taeye

It’s April, it’s National Poetry Month, it’s getting warmer, and the League of Canadian Poets will soon hand out their annual awards. There are a lot of great books here on the longlists, including Candace deTaeye’s _Pronounced / Workable._ It is up for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award and to celebrate we’re going to lower the price of the book so everyone in the family can have one. One week only and it will be the first really warm sunny week of the year. What’s not to like?

You can also hear her reading April 8th at an Artists in the Ambulance event. It’s a benefit concert and silent auction in support of Wounded Warriors Canada. The live music and the art is provided by GTA paramedics. Who knew there were so many? It’s at 3030 Dundas West and doors open at 7pm.
