David Scrimshaw recently posted this video segment over at his blog; this is something he produced for Rogers 22's Community Magazine on the second edition of the ottawa small press book fair, which was held on September 16 and 17, 1995 at the Glebe Community Centre. This was the second fair, and the first one fully hosted by myself, as co-founder James Spyker had moved to Toronto not long after the first fair occurred in November 1994. See an interview with young me! And John Barton, talking about Arc Poetry Magazine! And others! with folk such as Victoria Vernell and Joe Blades in the background, as well.
