Last night was the unofficial kick-off to PoFest 2009 (the official deal starts tonight with the Killer Blinks). Edmonton’s longest running poetry open mic series, The Raving Poets hosted the one and only CR Avery for a night of cool performance. Here’s a few pics from the night.

You can catch CR Avery again at the PoFest Saturday night hootenanny, Poetry on Planet Earth.
