In celebration of our fifth anniversary we offer a selection of the sound files which Barry McKinnon has acquired over the past thirty plus years of hosting poetry readings in Prince George, BC. The quality of these files is less than idea. The recordings were made using small cassette tape recorders and digitized many years later by students in the Writing and New Media Technologies program at the College of New Caledonia where Barry teaches.

The files are in Realaudio format and were encoded using an older, read "free", version of their software. You must have the Realaudio player installed on your computer in order to hear these files.
