The Lunchbox Interview: Ryan Gaio & Naomi K Lewis (Qwerty Reads) [FULL SHOW]

Words are music, stories are songs, books are albums..

So why shouldn’t a reading also have a band?

My guests today are both involved in a reading-with-a-difference coming up this evening, at 7pm at The Wilser’s Room: Qwerty Reads, brought by the UNB-student-run Qwerty Magazine. Ryan Gaio is a first-year creative writing student at UNB and reader for Qwerty Magazine, and helped organize the event. Naomi K. Lewis is the current UNB Writer-in-Residence and author who will be doing a reading at the show tonight. We talked about creative writing at UNB, what a Writer-in-Residence really does, and about Qwerty Magazine.

Music today:

Tomato Tomato told us to Toss It All Away (by which, I assume they mean baggage..)
The Do Good Badlies slyly told us the opposite of the song’s title in Fear The Change (from Electric Nights).
And finally, we decide to just Let It Go by Earthbound Trio, as heard on the compilation It’s Always Sunny In New Brunswick.
