Best of 2012: Sexiest Ottawa Poets

in order to qualify they have to have read somewhere where I have heard them this year. their work is sexy & by sexy I mean offers new possibilities, is playful & in some cases has a dark side. & of course they are gorgeous & attractive people both inside & out. I've included a former Ottawan who read here this year also, because it's my list & I can break rules if I want & if you know me at all, you know i always want. note there are 12 & not the standard 10. should there be more people on the list? absolutely…in other words, I didn't got to as many readings as I would have liked. order has no relevance. (in general & herein)
