“I appreciate this book, especially the idea of the slightly awkward, at odds with the world, Emperor soul rattling around in his castle, proclaiming his love, his heart for the world, from his iron prison." - John Stiles “The Emperor’s Heart” from THE EMPEROR’S SOFA (Punchy Poetry/DC Books, 2010) by Greg Santos My debut poetry book, THE EMPEROR’S SOFA, is on discount via @amazon.

I stopped by the @atwaterlibrary_computercentre this afternoon for a meeting and I was happy to find my books Rabbit Punch! (DC Books, 2014) and The Emperor’s Sofa (DC Books, 2010) there! If you find yourself at Montréal’s Atwater Library and you’re hankering for some poetry, you’re in the right place! . . . #gregsantos #rabbitpunch #emperorssofa #poetry #poetsofinstagram #montrealpoet #montrealpoetry #bookstagram #canadianpoet #canadianpoetry #montreal #atwaterlibrary #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity (at Atwater Library and Computer Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtCUr1THjd-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10liebvvo0w64

So pleased to have been able to attend the Speculative Fiction Readings at Montreal’s @argobookshop featuring the fabulous Jo Walton, Su Sokol, and A.E. Prevost on January 10, 2019. After the invited writers read, the floor was opened up for others to share their work out loud. I know I’m not necessarily known for speculative fiction, fantasy, or science-fiction writing but one whole section of my debut poetry book, The Emperor’s Sofa (DC Books, 2010) is devoted to poems that make up the story of a post-apocalyptic crumbling empire and its inhabitants. I don’t often get a chance to read from my first collection, so this was a fun opportunity to do so. I’m including one of the poems I read titled “Man and Dog” in here for you to check out. Thanks again to Argo Bookshop for the opportunity to read my sci-fi poems and for carrying copies of my newest collection, Blackbirds (Eyewear, 2018) . . . #gregsantos #emperorssofa #blackbirdspoetry #poetry #poetsofinstagram #instagrampoetry #speculativefiction #scifi #scifipoetry #jowalton #montrealwriters #argobookshop #montrealbookstore #independantbookstore #montreal #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity (at Argo Bookshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsf_Xy4HgBt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ggzgx2l5ed4d
