Here are my photos from the 2004 GungHaggisFatChoy Poetry night. It was a great evening. I enjoyed it all including the overly dramatic but strangely appealing stylings of this poet. Lots of magical moments from many cultures in many languages.

I need to go to more poetry readings! The power of the spoken poem straight from the author is something that everyone should experience live.

The FREE GungHaggis Poetry Event is 7:30 tonight at the Vancouver Public Library downtown. See you there! Looking forward to some excellent poetry and performances.
