Worst Case Ontario was an entirely crowd-funded poetry reading tour by five young poets: Jessica Bebenek, JC Bouchard, dalton derkson, JM Francheteau, and Julie Mannell, who one day dreamed a dream of stuffing themselves into a rented sedan and etching a route between any outpost in Canada and the States that would allow them a mic and the time to go to work. We think that literature is built by new voices, diverse voices, voices that seek to break and won’t be broken. Thanks for agreeing.
