Ottawater Issue 3

Wanda O'Connor formerly of Ottawa /presently of Montreal, read to a receptive audience and was part of a large contingent of poets and novelists reading in Byward Market's Mercury Lounge last Friday the 26th of January. Miss Wanda was slated to read earlier in 2006 at another reading event but was unable to attend. You can read the magazine for free on the Ottawater website.

See Amanda Earl's review of this evening's reading on her blog. Charles Earl also snapped at pic of Gantineau's Jim Larwill who informed me that he will partake in an All-Star lineup of poets in CBC Radio's slam poetry competition coming up the 20th of February. Fan and local poetry supporter Pearl Pirie, fresh with a revamped webpage, also made note of the Ottawater launch.
