Random Acts of Poetry 3: “Did I Sing?” by Kate Braid

Reading this poem is like watching a youtube clip of Glenn Gould playing: it's full of rhythm and movement and at the end Gould comes out of the music to ask the question "did I sing?"

"Did I Sing" is from A Well-Mannered Storm: The Glenn Gould Poems, published by Caitlin Press in 2008.

On Tuesday, October 19 Kate Braid will be reading at La Fontana Caffee (3701 East Hastings), 8:00 p.m. She will be accompanied by jazz bassist Clyde Reed and the warmup act will be an open mic for which the sign-up is at 7:30.

This is part of the Spoken Ink reading series which is sponsored by Burnaby Writers’ Society and
League of Canadian Poets.

Attendees get a 20% discount that day 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at

across the street, at 3740 East
Hastings.

Here's the poem.

And here's a great youtube clip:
