So it's soon time

...to hit the road again. The cat will not be pleased. Anyway, Gerald Hill and I are the featured readers at a poetry salon in Saskatoon on Saturday. My first salon! I'm very excited. I linked to a story about the revival of house readings and salons in a post a few years back. The link is now dead, but my enthusiasm is alive as ever. I love the idea of them. Now, touch wood, I will experience it first hand. And it's an honour to be reading with Gerry. I sat down with My Human Comedy, his latest, on the weekend. It's a dandy.

Then I'm off to Winnipeg where I'll read with Judith Krause on Monday at McNally Robinson, Grant Park. My thanks to Ariel Gordon for spreading the word, setting up a dim sum date and promising cake. Cake! I hope she'll give me a tour of Aqua Books and take me for a hike in the forest as well. I don't ask a lot...

So.

Your first salon? You cut your hair yourself then? Have fun. Drive safe.

Har har. Thanks, fun it will be! Safe travels to you, too. Looks like we'll both be traveling over the same stretch of time, though I imagine you'll be airborne.

Cake? Books? Forest? Who needs more?
Enjoy the traveling, Brenda.
