Anvil Press Launch: December 8

Though there is nowhere I’d rather be than inside my house when it’s dark outside, next Wednesday I’ll be breaking with tradition and attending the Anvil Press Spectacular 5 Author Showcase. In particular, to see Kerry Ryan (remember her Pickle Me This Author Interview from earlier this year?) who will be (Toronto) launching her second book Vs.,which chronicles the foray of a bookish woman into the world of boxing. Poems which, according to Jeannette Lynes, “come at you like quick jabs of light – the writing is taut, worked over, sinewy, spare, and lean – but never mean. A delightful collection. What else can be said? These poems pack a punch.” I am looking forward to it.
