The Canadian Foundation for Public Poetry is planning a cross-continent Humanetry reading tour to celebrate our book, “Leonard Cohen You’re Our Man-75 poets reflect on the poetry of Leonard Cohen.”
Although the tour locations are currently being set, our general route is from the small red dot at upper right(Apr. 9, 2010,) westward to that big red finger, north up the coast to Vancouver(May 1) and then eastward. Returning to Montreal on May 9th.
Net proceeds from this tour will help support the Leonard Cohen Poet-In-Residence Program at Leonard’s old High School(Westmount High.)
We call it the Humanetry Tour, because we aim to promote humanity and the writing and appreciation of poetry(hence, Humanetry). In addition to public readings we hope to give readings at corrections facilities, hospitals, mental health facilities, etc.
Tour stops will be posted shortly.
