Inside the enclosed terrace of Mykonos Restaurant it was as warm as a summer beach in Greece. Bluesman Tim Woodcock and his bass player Rick “Catfish” Bardawill were plugging wires into speakers and tuning up their instruments.....
The feature of the night was unlike anyone we’ve had yet. Not a senior poet, as usual, but four young people, all still going to UWO. I had asked Scott Beckett, the current Student Writer-in-Residence, to round up some good young poets and put together a presentation for us. Whatever he thought might work. These are poets who are still immersed in the study of English literature, in all it’s forms, but who prefer poetry, and so are putting a lot of their energy and excitement into reading and creating it. Scott is in his 4th year, along with Erikk Zadrozny, and Koral Scott. Jilian Baker is in her 3rd.
Open mic readers Joan Clayton, Kevin Heslop and Robert Norsworthy are not pictured in the slide show below.
