The Dusty Owl Reading Series was first launched in 1994 by Steve Zytveld, as President of the English Literature Society at Carleton University . The event was hosted monthy at a local café until, in 1999 , other life issues took priority over the running of the series. In 2004, the series was revived with many of its original participants as the organizational force. Steve Zytveld and his wife Catherine MacDonald-Zytveld (an Ottawa-area artist mainly in the medium of lino-block printing) co-host the event on the third Sunday of every month at Swizzles Bar and Grill, a "bias-free" bar in downtown Ottawa. The reading series has drawn poets from across Canada , and into the United States Of America , and has branched out to include the publication of a quarterly Chapbook , "The Dusty Owl Quarterly", commonly referred to as "The DÖQ" (pronounced duk), as well as short collections of poetry and prose by Canadian artists. |
