With a performance of Steadman's work,
APRES SATIE: FOUR TWO AND FOUR HANDS by Lesley Strutt, Georgia Mathewson, Alastair Larwill and Steadman.
Après Satie: Four Two and Four Hands is a poetry collection inspired by Erik Satie's piano compositions. Moody, often surreal in tone and content, the interplay of primo and secondo voices in these poems raises our awareness of the temporal nature of all things.
AMANDA EARL is the managing editor of Bywords.ca and the publisher of AngelHousePress, including its transgressive prose imprint, DevilHouse. She is the author of several chapbooks. Her first poetry book will be published by Chaudiere Books in the fall of 2014. Her poems have also appeared in literary journals both on line and in print in Australia, Canada, England, France, Ireland and the USA. Amanda has received funding from the City of Ottawa and the Ontario Arts Council.
DEAN STEADMAN’s work has been published in Canadian journals and e-zines, as well as in the anthology
Pith and Wry: Canadian Poetry (Scrivener Press, 2010). His poem, “Crime Passionnel” (
Descant 144, Spring 2009), was selected by Lorna Crozier as one of the top 100 poems in
The Best Canadian Poetry in English, 2010 (Tightrope Books). He was a finalist in the 2011 Ottawa Book Awards for his poetry collection
their blue drowning (Frog Hollow Press, 2010). His chapbook,
Portrait w/tulips, was published by Leaf Editions in 2013.
