Kayla Geitzler’s That Light Feeling Under Your Feet (NeWest Press) is a collection about cruise ships, their passengers, and the folks who run them. A big fan of cruising myself, the poems in this collection took me back to distant ports of call, buffet lines, and rum drinks. Ready to come aboard?I’m whipping up a batch of Rum Swizzle, a bright, fruity cocktail that hails from a favourite cruise destination, Bermuda, for today’s Chappy Hour – but feel free to swap the rum for ginger ale if you don’t want that Light Feeling to go to your head.
