Videopoems
Voiceover / Shoring is a videopoem I made by overlaying the texts of two poems onto re-edited scrap Super 8 footage from a return trip taken by my grandparents to Nova Scotia in the summer of 1962. The music and soundscape are by Geoff Mitchell, built around some piano improvisations and some field audio he collected around the Bedford Basin. We recorded together in Montreal in June 2017. Geoff comes from Nova Scotia, and I grew up there, so this videopoem is a kind of nostos for us both.

Robson Reading Series
This video presents a collaboration with percussionist Nicholas Jacques. We worked out a set of ten poems from Embouchure, and also perform a version of the poem "Eyjafjallajökull," which is an exercise in name-calling a volcano. The performance took place in the Lillooet Room of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, on Thursday, January 26, 2012. Thanks to Allan Cho and Anne-Mary Mullen for organizing.

Art Song Lab 2013
These two videos were used to introduce performances of two art songs, both settings of parts of my poem "First Person Shooter," which were composed by Alex Mah and David Betz for the Art Song Lab, part of the 2013 Vancouver International Song Institute. We discuss the process of collaboration and the intersections of poetry and music.
