Posted By Corey Larocque

Calling all poets – The Review and Balzac's coffee present a night of poetry Nov. 12 at the coffee shop, 4388 Queen Street, starting at 6:30 p.m. "So You Think You Can Rhyme" is a search for an unofficial poet laureate in response to a recent column by Corey Larocque calling for Niagara Falls to appoint a poet laureate like some other cities have. Several dozen readers submitted limericks about Niagara Falls. Thursday's audience will pare them down to a short list to be published in the Review. Librarian Andrew Porteus will discuss poems about Niagara Falls he has collected over the years. David Smith, known as downtown's "parking poet" will read some of his work.
