Just in from the reading. We caught the last half of James' segment, and a couple of french poets after that. Catherine was there as well, all smiles and good vibes. I snapped 5 or 6 pictures, some are a little murky, all are black and whites.

I'll post them demain. Bon Soir mes amis.

I was there from the beginning and heard all eight finalists (4 in English, 4 in French) who were there (two couldn't make it).

James read beautifully, ending with his lovely Northwest Passage poem.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for James. Winners will be announced on November 13.

Thanks, Jesse! Thanks, Cathy! That's a great report. Good to know James did well.

Actually, there's a post on Carmine Starnino's blog here about the event. And, check out a new interview of James in The Toronto Quarterly here.

Cheers,
...Alex

Thanks everyone for this report.

Jesse, look under FAQ at http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/view.p...#_Toc239789959

See, I really am your true blue buddy.

How do I post an image?

First, the image must be on the internet somewhere. If it is already on a website, you can use that URL. If not, you will need to upload it from your computer to Erato's server.

You can use the attachment function to upload an image to the Eratosphere server.

Delightful addition to the photo archive. Lovely to see James in action and Cathy and Jesse on the support team.

(And what a great pic of pretty Ellie too!)
