Dear Students, Teachers, Writers and Readers,
Gahl here, back from my summer vacation/figure-out-my-life sabbatical. I've moved to the Windy City of Chicago, and am currently enrolled in Concordia University's first ever Spoken Word Education program. As a result, I'll probably be doing more readings in and around Chicagoland, and hopefully absorbing some of the city's famed work ethic.
To make the start of my life here a little more auspicious, kick things off, and welcome students young and old back to school, I've added a new section to the website labeled "Videos" where you can see movies of individual poem performances (check the tabs at the top, it should be the rightmost tab).
To give everybody a taste, I've uploaded a poem from Homegrown 2011, but we're far from done. I'm pleased to announce the Back to School Bodies Video Series is about to drop, this Sunday the 15th of September! That's right, the much talked about high definition footage of the NZ Bodies Bodies Bodies Bodies Bodies book release this past February has been edited, mixed and mastered, screwed, chopped, and stir fried with onions and a red wine reduction, and is now ready for public consumption. I'll be releasing one poem video a week, so check back each Sunday at 4pm for the latest hotness as it drops in time for high tea.
Don't call it a comeback,
Gahl
