So pleased to have been able to attend the Speculative Fiction Readings at Montreal’s @argobookshop featuring the fabulous Jo Walton, Su Sokol, and A.E. Prevost on January 10, 2019. After the invited writers read, the floor was opened up for others to share their work out loud. I know I’m not necessarily known for speculative fiction, fantasy, or science-fiction writing but one whole section of my debut poetry book, The Emperor’s Sofa (DC Books, 2010) is devoted to poems that make up the story of a post-apocalyptic crumbling empire and its inhabitants. I don’t often get a chance to read from my first collection, so this was a fun opportunity to do so. I’m including one of the poems I read titled “Man and Dog” in here for you to check out. Thanks again to Argo Bookshop for the opportunity to read my sci-fi poems and for carrying copies of my newest collection, Blackbirds (Eyewear, 2018) . . . #gregsantos #emperorssofa #blackbirdspoetry #poetry #poetsofinstagram #instagrampoetry #speculativefiction #scifi #scifipoetry #jowalton #montrealwriters #argobookshop #montrealbookstore #independantbookstore #montreal #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity (at Argo Bookshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsf_Xy4HgBt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ggzgx2l5ed4d
