"Come join us on June 5 at 7:30pm in the Main Hall at the Tranzac for an unforgettable evening to launch Lillian Allen, Gregory Betts, and Gary Barwin's new album, Muttertongue.
Muttertongue: what is a word in utter space by Lillian Allen (a dub poet, writer, and Juno Award winner), Gary Barwin (poet, writer, composer, multimedia artist, performer, and educator), and Gregory Betts (whose writing explores the boundaries between self, other, and alien – the radical other) is a collaborative collection that crackles in its exploration of land, language, and page space. Combining the intensity of Dub Poetry with the intricacies of experimental poetics, this album is the sonorous soundscape partner of the collection of the same name (Exile Editions, 2025).
With support from The Toronto Experimental Translation Collective and Poet's Workout Soundsystem.
Doors 7:30; poets on at 8."
