Thanks to an initiative by Gail Vanstone, the digital archives of the Canadian Writers in Person reading series is now online at Artmob featuring both readings and Q&A sessions from dozens of Canadian authors.
I was the coordinator of the 2007-2008 series which included visits from Christian Bok, a. rawlings, Heather O'Neill, Karen Hines, Steven Heighton, RM Vaughan, and many others. Running the series meant that I also operated the video camera on the evenings of the readings (when I remembered to charge the camera's batteries--which is why George Elliott Clarke's wonderful performance is missing from the archive).
I was invited to read at the series a few years before I hosted, and my reading (primarily from American Standard/ Canada Dry) and Q&A is also up here.
