~ Poet Kate Sutherland talks about collage work and the evolution of visuals in her fourth book of poetry The Bones Are There (Book*hug Press): " My whole life, not just the poetry part, is dominated by text, and I wanted a break, especially from text on screens. So I got myself a good pair of scissors and some glue and embraced analogue collage."
~ #IndieReadingRoom author and celebrated Indigenous storyteller Richard Van Camp (Angel Wing Splash Pattern, Kegedonce Press) on writing short fiction: "I can usually see the ending first and it’s always so riveting to hold on and document the slow motion train crash leading up to it"
~ For World Food Day we serve up a tasty vegan recipe from County Heirlooms (Invisible Publishing), a cookbook and celebration of food producers making their mark in Prince Edward County
