You've heard about it from Open Book Toronto. You've heard about it from Quill & Quire. Now experience it firsthand from the duo of dynamic diction itself.

Coach House poets Jeramy Dodds (Crabwise to the Hounds) and Matthew Tierney (The Hayflick Limit) are about to head west for National Poetry Month, on a journey named 'Two on a Choo-Choo: The Dodds / Tierney Poetry Train.'

Here at twoonachoochoo.blogspot.com you will find thrilling first-hand accounts of the poets' adventures as they hit festivals, bookstores and reading series along the way. These dispatches might be as close as you get to riding a boxcar with the two authors, sharing from their tin can of beans. So make sure to check back regularly!

At the sidebar on the right you will find list of the scheduled stops, links to the books and multimedia extras over at Coach House Books. Make sure also to visit to our sponsor, VIA Rail.
