Three pairs of poets were given a task: collaborate! Over the past month, they’ve been working together to create a collaborative performance – whatever that means to them. Will they co-write brand new poetry? Will they read each others’ work? Will they create a harmony of dual voices? Find out what these creative powerhouses have cooked up at the first-ever Collaboration Experiment!

PLUS: The return of the flywheel prize draw! Not only will attendees get to hear top-notch literature, but they’ll also have the chance to win swag from filling Station magazine and McNally Robinson Booksellers. Don’t miss out!

EXTRA BONUS: Come out for your first glimpse of Sandy Lam’s limited edition flywheel poster, up for auction in June 2007!

Every month since November 2003, filling Station magazine's flywheel reading series has brought poetry, prose, music, lectures and performance to the heart of downtown Calgary. It’s a place for first-time readers to share the stage with professional authors, for Calgary audiences to see their favourite writers alongside the next generation of literary superstars.
