Once a year, the World Poetry Reading Series at the Vancouver Public Library colludes and collides with the alignment of Chinese New Year and Robbie Burns Day, and is marked by the appearance of Toddish McWong. This intersection is called Gung Haggis Fat Choy World Poetry Night.
Ariadne Sawyer and Alejandro Olea-Mujica are great friends to work with, as we built a program to entertain our audience as well as inform them about Chinese and Scottish traditions while serving up new Canadian writers, proud of their Scottish and Chinese ancestral roots. Following an introduction by Vancouver Public Library Community Programs Librarian Barbara Edwards, piper Joe McDonald led a parade of the performers into the Alice Mackay Room, around the back, up the side and across the front. The original tune was appropriately titled "Gung Haggis Fat Choy." Special guests...Fiona Tinwei Lam, Alexis Kienlen, James Mullin, dancer Yan Yan & friends + PICTURES!

Kitsilano is a great neighborhood. Filled with low income basement suites, students, expensive waterfront homes. I went for a walk on Saturday afternoon with my girlfriend to pick up a birthday cake for my father. Little did I know it would be such an adventure.... We bump into Stephen Owen, Shirley Chan, Philip Owen, James Mullen, and visit Notte's Bon Ton french pastry + Vancouver Kid's Books. more »
