Welcome!

Welcome friends, to the tour blog of Kevin Connolly (Revolver) and Matthew Tierney (The Hayflick Limit), as they traverse Canada's Atlantic provinces.

Early this October, these two acclaimed Canadian poets will travel through the Atlantic provinces in support of their newest books: Revolver (House of Anansi) and The Hayflick Limit (Coach House Books).

Driving from Fredericton to Halifax, with several stops in-between, the two poets will bring their new books to bookstore, festival and university audiences across the East Coast, in a poetry tour we've (perhaps foolishly) titled 'Kevin and Matt's Excellent East Coast Adventure'. More details are below (and on the image of the tour poster).

The poets themselves will update the blog with the latest tour updates.
