        Winnipeg

        Venue: McNally Robinson Polo Park

        Host: Coach House Books

        Two on a Choo-Choo: The Dodds & Tierney Poetry Train featuring Jeramy Dodds, Matthew Tierney and special guest Jan Guenther Braun.  I think that I’m going to read the poetry of Martha Weins.  I’m not sure if it’s a good idea or not, but I’m going to give it a shot maybe with some editing.
