It was a pretty fun process and ended up getting a lot more attention then I had expected. The local paper did an interview with me, I also had an interview with On Campus News from the University of Saskatchewan (I look terrible in the picture) and was asked to be part of the Pelican Bay Arts Collective arts festival as one of three authors in an event. This last one was amazing; not only was it my first public reading, it also served as a launch for the book and I got to read alongside a writer who inspires me and helped me in my writing process - Allan Safarik who had some amazingly wonderful things to say about me. Add to all of this the fact that people actually bought copies of my book! I really made the book more as a personal thing to have a collected book of my poems on my shelf but the fact that other people actually were willing to pay for it as well blew my mind!
So here we are a few years later and I have another book brewing. I am planning it to be released alongside a showing of my photography in the local museum later this year. This blog post came out of the fact that I have been looking at my stuff to start organizing this new book and figured it was as good a reason to post as any lol!
