Ottawa Poets Laureate activity: David O'Meara + Véronique Sylvain,

Our new Ottawa Poets Laureate have been busy! They were only announced two days ago [see the French announcement here; the English announcement here], but already Véronique Sylvain was written up in Le Droit by Par Yves Bergeras, and interviewed over at Unique 94,5 FM, and David O'Meara was interviewed by Alan Neal on CBC Radio! Of course, David O'Meara will be launching his debut novel, Chandelier (Nightwood Editions, 2024) at The Rainbow Bistro on September 18, and watch for details soon for the launch of Véronique Sylvain's second poetry collection, En terrain miné (Édition Prise de Parole, 2024); and both will be reading together as their Laureate debuts on October 1st as part of the Ottawa International Writers Festival!
