A long-awaited book of poetry, Blissful Times, gets launched tonight at Clinton’s by writer, multimedia artist and activist Sandra Alland. We’d like to call Sandra Alland the sweetheart of the Toronto small press scene, but she might kick our asses, so forget that we had that thought. We can safely say that Clinton’s will be full of good cheer tonight for BookThug’s spring launch.

Torontoist is a mite concerned by the note on this production's website that the shorts presented contain "the seeds of [Beckett's] most radical ideas," since Beckers wrote most of his short plays -- including Not I and That Time -- well after the radical theatre-changing ones that everyone knows, ie. Waiting for Godot, Endgame, and Happy Days. But we're going anyway in the hopes that Beckett's best and completely wordless work Nacht und Traume (Night and Dreams) is on the bill. Torontoist saw a student production of it four years ago and still cries when s/he recalls it.
