Wendy Morton plugs poetry-far and wide-and high.When she's not promoting verse with her Mocambopo Reading Series in Victoria, the Sooke-based private investigator is WestJet's 'Poet of the Skies,' serving up sonnets. During her promo tour for Undercover (Ekstasis $14.95), Morton took the microphone and recited poetry between Montreal and Halifax. Attention passengers. You are about to join the simile mile high club. But she didn't stop there. Morton convinced eastern Canada's Chrysler headquarters to lend her a PT Cruiser to drive around the Maritimes, reading poems to strangers and distributing free copies of her publisher's various titles. She didn't get arrested. 1-894800-21-4
