Poetry, Straight Up
Please tune in to Ryerson University's CKLN, 88.1 FM, on Tuesday, August 19, 2-3 pm, for my third-Tuesday edition of In Other Words
I’m calling this show “Poetry Straight Up.” I’ll give sound poetry a rest and focus on readings by contemporary poets that are not primarily performative in nature – in other words, poetry, straight up. I’ll feature readings by Charles Alexander, Kenward Elmslie, Lisa Robertson, Kimberly Lyons, Peter Gizzi, John Ashbery, Ann Lauterbach, Linh Dinh, Craig Dworkin, Rae Armantrout, and more.

Terry Fallis and Julia Steinecke on July 29th
"Indie Writer Wins Stephen Leacock Award!"
Indie in this case means self-published, and refers to author Terry Fallis, whose book The Best Laid Plans beat both the odds and established writers like Douglas Coupland and Will Ferguson to bag the prestigious prize. Tune in to In Other Words on Tuesday, July 29th when Diana Kiesners interviews Terry Fallis about podcasting, self-publishing and taking the unconventional path to literary success.
Terry Fallis's career has taken him from engineering school to public relations consulting. In between, his experiences in Ottawa working as a political staffer provided plenty of material for The Best Laid Plans, a satire about Canadian political life.
On the same show, travel writer and editor Julia Steinecke talks about Verge, a magazine devoted to "travel with purpose." She'll discuss the joys and perils of travel writing, and how to break into this difficult and desirable field.
Julia Steinecke's column about LGBT travel, "Pink Planet," appears monthly in the Toronto Star. She is the new editor of Verge Magazine.

RM Vaughan on Tuesday, June 24!
Tune in this Tuesday, June 24th from 2-3pm to hear R. M. Vaughan talk about and read from his new book of poetry Troubled.About the book: Troubled is the poetic account of the true story of a patient/psychiatrist relationship gone horribly wrong. With his signature mix of scathing self-analysis and volatile wordplay, RM Vaughan brazenly documents how an innocent flirtation with his therapist escalated into dangerous sexual misadventure. And when the clandestine relationship goes awry, the consequences are heart-rending and career-ending.
Troubled is brutally honest and erotically frank, a no-holds-barred confession that is itself distrustful of the language of confession (description courtesy of Coach House Books).
Check out the book's latest review in the Globe and Mail.
RM Vaughan is a writer and video artist, who has written books of poetry, novels, plays, articles and columns. "In Other Words" host Jennifer LoveGrove will interview him regarding his latest book, and they'll play some songs, chat, and RM Vaughan will read some of his work.
