KFB FRIDAYS | THIS FRIDAY
…so beautiful
I wanted to capture you, pin you to me forever
Here’s the story.
I had just finished (and was blown away by) Linda Frank’s Divided, that very same week poet Ross Belot comes in, introduces himself and I share this with him, he says, “O, I’m a good friend of Linda’s” (they both live in Hamilton) so I ask if he would pass along my praise and better still if we could book a reading. He messages her while still at the shop and I thought Sue Bracken would fit in nicely, and here we are.
