On Tuesday, August 10th, Tree will host Hot Ottawa Voices, where three local writers will be showcased at the Ottawa Arts Court. Performing will be Cameron Anstee, Christine McNair and Gillian Wallace. These poets are selected because they are doing interesting and creative things in the Ottawa poetry community. They should be on your radar to create more of a buzz in the near future, and chapbooks will be for sale at the reading. Preceding the reading from 6:45-7:45, Claudia Radmore will lead her first of four workshops on contemporary poetry and how everything is connected: the beauty of juxtaposition, Japanese forms and grabbing inspiration. The evening commences with an open mic at 8pm, which is the second-last chance you have to enter Tree's Origami Crane open mic competition. All entries in Tree's Origami Crane open mic competition must be read at a Tree open mic session no later than August 24, 2010. The video must be recorded and posted to Tree's YouTube account. Printed entries can be no more than one page in length (double-sided, 8.5”x11”) and no less than 12-point type. Readers must also submit one self-photograph electronically. There will be two winners announced in September 2010: one for best poem and the other for best performance of a poem. The winners will also be featured in the first issue of Tree Leaves following the announcement. For more information, please visit the website. ***
