It means so much to me to be a part of this book and to have a performance as part of the online launch. My thanks to Sue Goyette and all my fellow contributors, and the publisher, for making this important and necessary book possible.

The Brightest Thing in Ontario

On Sunday, March 3, I had the pleasure of doing the Edmonton launch of The Brightest Thing.
