Victoria!

Do you like poetry that sings the disruptions and emotional tremors that shape us, break us, and force us to grow, sometimes stronger, sometimes only different?

Come launch What is Broken Binds Us with Lorne Daniel and Joanna Streetly!

Perfect travel read: Blaine Newton’s short story collection Rag Pickers. Charming, moving, expertly crafted, often funny — these stories amaze & delight. Just right for the jumbled reading on journeys: on planes, in airports, in the passenger seat of a van. Recommended.
