Gung Haggis Poetry Night at VPL



On January 24th, 2011 -- Robbie Burns Eve -- at the Vancouver Public Library Central Branch, Todd Wong organized a poetry night which featured Michael Morris, James Mullen, Cara Kauhane, Steve Duncan (host of Co-Op Radio Wax Poetic), and Ray Hsu (author of Anthropy, Cold Sleep Permanent Afternoon). And Novus TV was on hand to video tape the whole event. As Todd puts it, Gung Haggis Fat Choy, his brainchild, is a "special blend of contemporary Scottish-Canadian and Chinese-Canadian poets, mixed with ancient Scottish and Chinese traditions of Robbie Burns Day and Chinese New Year."
