Welcome to June's instalment of the Poet's Voice Reading Series! This month we're pleased to host Cranberry Tree Press co-publisher Laurie Smith (Suck and Spit, 2020), and Windsor Poet Laureate Mary Ann Mulhern (The Midnight Moon Sings of Murder, 2020). Join us as we discuss types of poison and the way hatred can poison a small rural community in southern Ontario. Both books are available now for purchase through our website and at your local bookstore.
The Pen
I’m writing this with a fountain pen. A green marble hand-finished pen made by Visconti in Florence, Italy. It's called Pericles, a pen that is normally manufactured in pearlized colours with a hinge clip that resembles Pericles's own headgear.
