The Launch of the Coachhouse Press Anthology _Biting the Error: Writers Explore Narrative_

with music by:
DARKBLUEWORLD

and readings by:
JEFF DERKSEN, DAPHNE MARLATT, GAIL SCOTT and ANNE STONE,



===========================

ABOUT THE ANTHOLOGY:

_Biting the Error_ brings together writers from Tijuana to Montréal. In this groundbreaking anthology, forty of the continent's most provocative experimental writers describe their engagement with language, storytelling and the world. _Biting the Error_ is edited by Mary Burger, Robert Glück, Camille Roy and Gail Scott.


ABOUT DARK BLUE WORLD:

DarkBlueWorld brings together some of Vancouvers most innovative musicians in collaboration with the artist/writer/singer Elizabeth Fischer and is centered on the intricate songs she's been writing with the guitarist Ron Samworth. The music of DarkBlueWorld has been described as "original, relevant, culturally engaged & emotionally and intellectually uncompromising."

"Imagine a kind of distaff Tom Waits - utterly individualistic singing framed by some of the most creative musicians around." - Alex Varty, The Georgia Straight
