How many poets does it take to fill Dundas Square? No, this is not some bad joke. It's actually a post on this weekend's World Jam. Friends of the Poet Laureate and Diaspora Dialogues are filling Dundas Square with 50 poets from noon ot midnight this Sunday, Sep. 3rd.
Molly Peacock, George Elliot Clarke, Afua Cooper, Stuart Ross, Teenah Edan are just one tenth of the poets they've got lined up for this event. It's the largest event ever put on by Friends of the Poet Laureate, a group started by former Toronto Poet Laureate Dennis Lee.

Gotta plug my boy here. Nick Thran is a great up-and-coming poet and who did the pretty-big-deal-for-(young-)writers Banff Literary Arts program last summer, and he also just plain rocks. He also won a spotlight a ways back by cleaning up at the open mike poetry night at the Victory Cafe and does readings around town.
He'll be on between 6 and 7 p.m. (tons of great poets here, but I thought I'd tip youse off a bit about one may not know of.)

well *that's* annoying -- apparently those HTML tags I used for "style" didn't work out so hot.
Here's a link to one of his poems:

He's also got a book coming out soon. Here's what the Art Bar (That's what that Vic Cafe event is called, riiiiight) page says about him on the listings page:
Nick Thran is currently living in Toronto. He will be promoting his first book, Every Inadequate Name (Insomniac Press). He won the Art Bar Discovery Night in 2004.
Oh sweet, Nick's reading. I know him. I'll try to stop by and see him.
