Winnipeg connections

Here's a picture from tonight's The Winnipeg Connection: Writing Lives at Mid-Century launch at McNally Robinson Grant Park. I read fourth, after Arthur Adamson, Di Brandt, and Howard Curle.

After my 3-5 minute reading from my 1999 interview with Jack Ludwig, I ducked behind the retractable shelves, my ear turning from the introduction of the next reader to the rear of the store where M was walking/jiggling a wet and hungry Anna.

I rejoined the launch in time for cake, which was in the shape of a book and had editor Birk Sproxton's name writ large across one page.

(Chocolate cake!)

Fun!
