Friday Photo: launching at The Word
This week’s Friday Photo comes courtesy of critic, editor, and poet Carmine Starnino, who took this shot at the launch of new books by Montréal poets Eric Ormsby and Robyn Sarah. We think it shows that, sometimes, you don’t need a big room to launch a book. Having spent, in our salad days, many hours in The Word bookstore (located in McGill University’s student ghetto), we can attest that getting this many people in the place at one time is an impressive feat.
Have you recently attended a book reading, library event, or author appearance? Have some interesting book-related pictures you want to share? If you’ve got photos of the Canadian book scene, we’d love to see them. Send them to us or sign up through Flickr and submit your images.
