Via Daniel Bradley’s blog, I discovered this fine collection of 2006 Poetry Readings in Buffalo (at the Big Orbit Gallery), hosted by everybody’s favourite all-american Kevin Thurston and sponsored by Just Buffalo Literary Center which are now being hosted by House Press.

Missed ‘em the first time around? Catch ‘em here.

Daniel Bradley provides a little context on his reading with Gustave Morin:

Included is gustave morin and i reading from last fall (scroll to the bottom of the page) this actual isn’t the famed torched village anthology portion of the evening . . . that was held in the parking lot where things can burn, but the reading is pretty good, sound is great and there is even audience participation

We sat next to Gustave Morin, Rob Read, and Daniel Bradley at last month’s Small Press Book Fair in Buffalo. We didn’t see them light anything on fire.

Although, if I recall correctly John W MacDonald had some evidence of the guys burning Ottawa down here.

Writes Gustave Morin in MacDonald’s comment stream:

There is for me something beautiful in the ephemeral nature of firecrackers that i will always love.
