Three Readings Over Two Days — A Photo Diary

Writer Robert (Bob) Currie was my host at the Moose Jaw Public Library on June 17th.

Bob’s thoughtful questions produced a wonderful conversation about Black Umbrella and Stay for an audience of attentive listeners.

I highly recommend Bob’s recently released collection from Thistledown Press titled, Shimmers of Light.


Here I am at the Lumsden Public Library on June 18th with librarian Karen Tyacke.

She was ready for me when I arrived.

Then it was back down the road to Regina where I discovered the eclectic Penny University Bookstore on 13th Avenue.

Owner Annabel Townsend loves books and readers.

After my reading, poet Bruce Rice, author of Vivian, led a terrific conversation about my work. Here’s Bruce’s acclaimed collection about the self-taught street photographer Vivian Maier.

Past Events and Readings for 2022
