I just got the line up for Kitchener's Word on the Street – and I'm excited. I'm reading with an author I'm nuts for – Jane Urquhart. And Andrew Pyper, who I'm slowly going nuts for. And Jana Krager, whom I taught in a workshop once -- she's luscious, though I'm not sure she knows it yet.
Anyway, I'm reading at 1:00 in the author's tent. I'll also be at the New Quarterly booth on and off through most of the day. Wordsworth will be there selling the Ghost Maps. And other books, too, of course.
I'd like to meet Brian Henderson, who's on at the How to Get Published tent. He's the director of the WLU press, but I'd not heard of him before finding his poems in TNQ's slush pile. The poems blew my socks off, and it would be nice to get the chance to tell him so.
Soooo Erin, where can admiring fans buy the book? I'd love to pick up a copy. I have read it online, but there is nothing more wonderful than a brand new book of poetry! Is it available in the states yet?
