Hagios Press Spring 2013 Launch and Reading

In late April, Hagios Press launched three collections of poetry in Regina, Saskatchewan: 

• The Invisible Library, by Paul Wilson; 
• Stealing Home: Baseball Poems, by Dwayne Brenna; and 
• The Survival Rate of Butterflies in the Wild, by Murray Reiss. 

I remember Paul reading from a draft of The Invisible Library a couple of years ago, so it was great to see the work as a completed book. And I enjoy launches, primarily for the chance to hear the writers present their work, but also as a time to network and celebrate writing. So it was a good evening! 

My camera was also very happy to be in a sunny, well-lit room — although it's possible that the cinder block walls of the Cathedral Community Centre would perhaps be somewhat more appealing in the traditional literary gloom...
