Zoe T. Leroy Suggests you visit Words Travel Fast to see her poetry animated!

For this year's Nuit Blanche, my poems, along with poetry by Emily Pohl-Weary and Emily Schultz, were made into animated films by local graphic artists and shown on the TTC subway screens. The project was called Words Travel Fast and curated by Sharon Switzer , as part of Art for Commuters. I'm pretty excited that you can now see all of the films on the site.

In today's feature, Ottawa-based poet Shane Rhodes talks to Open Book about his childhood in an Alberta ghost town, his work with HIV/AIDS patients and his most recent collection of poetry, Err (Nightwood Editions), which led him to accumulate a basement full of beer and other spirits.

Shane Rhodes launches Err at Type Books (Queen West) in Toronto on Thursday, June 9th. Visit our Events page for details. You can also catch him in Jordan Village on Saturday, June 11th as part of the Niagara Literary Arts Festival.
