Anne Hopkinson at the Thursdays table at the start of the day - and she was smiling at the end, too!

The wind at Word on the Street nearly blew us away, but Thursdays Writing Collective members Henry Doyle, Anne Hopkinson, Sarah Oulette, Elisabeth Buchanan, James McLean and Joan Morelli valiantly staffed the table. They sold chapbooks, signed up new members and spread the word on what we do.

 

We were thrilled to see the results of the previous day’s chapbook making workshop with Mercedes Eng.

 

 

Several people made individual books and a few collaborated on joint productions. The display table at the library was well-attended and many copies were sold.

 

While the photo doesn’t do justice to the colourful, inviting books on sale, seeing the creative presentation and vision for presenting work  was one of the most interesting parts of the Festival.

The photo doesn't capture the luscious colours and variety of the chapbooks made by Thursdays writers - they are beautiful and varied!
