Looking for something to do in Montreal?
In the Flaneur Walks Pamphlet Series, writers create poetic/conceptual walking tours of the cities in which they live in order to guide readers through a re-exploration, re-habitation and re-experiencing of their urban space. Readers purchase the pamphlets /maps and take the tour as the writers instruct. Eye opening, interactive, and fun.
Navette
Come to the Launch Party Weekend and do the walk with Kaie in person.
In Navette, Kaie Kellough tells a young man's story of growing up in the neighborhoods and streets of Montréal as the son of Haitian immigrants. Pulsing with the desire for movement, he shuttles through time, family, politics, music, and personal mythology to stop where one always stops: somewhere else, in the shadow of what's been left behind.
On the way, Kellough directs readers to choose their own paths, literally, because no story is ever really linear. The result is a fantastic flight that when read straight through draws one deeply to center, and when walked, awakens one's awareness to the connectivity of the universe.

Kaie Kellough is a word-sound systemizer. His systems originate in the inchoate swirl of vowels, consonants, misspellings, shapes, stammerings, and emerge as audio recordings, books, visual entities, volumes of letters, and performances that verse and reverse utterance.
Kaie's work fuses formal experiment and social engagement. Kaie is the author of two books of poetry, Lettricity (Cumulus Press 2004), and Maple Leaf Rag (Arbeiter Ring Publishing 2010), and two sound recordings: Vox:Versus (WOW 2011), and Creole Continuum (HOWL! 2014). Kaie has performed and published internationally, and is presently working on a novel.
