Look out for poets on the loose likely to burst into verse [Via The Globe and Mail: Arts] "If it all sounds wonderfully weird, well, the event's genesis is even weirder. It all began when Morton, an insurance investigator by day, was caught speeding on her way home from a poetry reading last year. Morton offered to read the police officer a poem. He liked it, and told Morton he wasn't going to give her a ticket, but warned her not to drive so fast. "See what you can do with poetry?" Morton says. "That was my first random act."
Morton, a 64-year-old poet with incredible chutzpah, had already convinced the folks at WestJet Airlines to sponsor her as their "poet of the skies."" |
