A couple of my books - Rabbit Punch! (2014) and Blackbirds (2018) - are in good company at NDG’s Benny Library. And it seems that my latest, Ghost Face (2020), is in process and on its way there soon, too! . . . #gregsantospoetry #rabbitpunch #blackbirdspoetry #ghostfacepoetry #montreal #ndg #bennylibrary #montrealpoet (at Benny Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp7uEjhguDKhxsAsUjLdcIGZH4mmXyOugxUX0A0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Channeling Irving Layton. Thanks @okeetara for finding the exact spot! The Rockhill Apartments weren’t built back when Irv lurked the boneyard. #irvinglayton #montrealpoet (at Cimetière Notre-Dame-des-Neiges) https://www.instagram.com/p/B77ewFKABlY/?igshid=t1evh73igakl

Find copies of my ‘Anne, George, and Me’ chapbook which I originally had made for the 2022 Expozine over at NDG’s @phoenixbooksndg! The chapbook features poems inspired by the artwork and life of Canadian painter, Anne Savage (1896-1971). What’s our connection you might ask? My childhood home was the house Savage lived in for most of her adult life and I’ve always felt haunted by her presence. This collection is a small sampling of a larger ongoing project that intertwines the stories of Beaver Hall Group founding member Anne Savage, her half brother George - who mysteriously disappeared at the turn of the 20th century, with my own life story. Thanks again to Mel at Phoenix for the opportunity to have ‘Anne, George, and Me’ displayed at their local author and artist table! . . . #gregsantos #gregsantospoetry #annegeorgeandme #poetry #poetrychapbook #chapbook #phoenixbooks #phoenixbooksndg #supportindependentbookstores #ndg #montreal #montrealpoet #writingcommunity #bookshop #bookstagram #annesavagepainter #annesavage #beaverhallgroup (at Phoenix Books) https://www.instagram.com/p/CovUIRKvJVB0bpu2myJoL83bYFR4WIMocVVAXQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rabbit Punch! (Punchy Poetry/DC Books, 2014) is 5 years old this month! Some praise for the book: “Santos' poems are so quick on their feet, and fly by so fast, and are so pleasurable, I almost forgot that they are poems. Of course they are, and are as literary as they are entertaining.” - David Trinidad “This is a funny, creepy, reverent, irreverent and insolent collection.” - Stuart Ross “Rabbit Punch!, the second collection by Greg Santos, offers an admirable finesse to the reader who craves good verse.” - The Small Press Book Review “Santos' second collection of poetry, combines a quick wit with poignant insight.” - Cha: An Asian Literary Journal . . . #gregsantos #rabbitpunch #poetry #bookstagram #poetsofinstagram #punchypoetry #dcbooks #montrealpoet #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxc4JGrggma/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u4jmjl7n3htf
