it is week 9 of my video series promoting "A moon made of copper," and i have a book launch in my home town of Kamloops, BC.
i think hometown gigs are the toughest, because everyone is used to you and your schtick and i think take it for granted in some ways. "oh he's here, he'll be here next week," and so on. i did that once, when i was living in Austin, Texas and seeing Stevie Ray Vaughn. i was in Austin for just over a year and caught SRV in a show, but way too briefly and then he was gone. that haunts me to this day.
plus, people always want things for free at hometown gigs, hahaha, of which, i have nothing, because i can barely afford to pay attention these days. haha.
anyway, here's a no-frills video for this week, I've got to go put up posters for the reading and get some media love, which means this no make up video. hahahaha. kidding.
it's for the poem "post-colonial setting," on page 73 of my new book "A moon made of copper."
enjoy!
cheers,
chris bose.
