To celebrate the twenty-fourth anniversary of TISH, a poetry newsletter founded by students at the University of British Columbia, Western Front hosted an evening of readings by George Bowering, Frank Davey, David Dawson, Gladys Hindmarch, Lionel Kearns, Fred Wah, Peter Auxier, and Warren Tallman. The readers all sat onstage as each took turns performing ten-minute sets.
