This week we went to Kings Theatre to purchase tickets for Laila Biali Wintersongs.
While in Annapolis Royal, we could not resist the temptation of stopping at the Mad Hatter bookstore. We were in luck, they seemed to have added to their stock for Christmas.
With little thought, we picked up Arthur Bull’s, New and Selected Poetry, Skidmark Calligraphy. I remember Arthur from his work with rural development agencies and recall that he lives in Lake Medway on Digby Neck.
Naomi Klein’s Doppelgänger: a trip into the mirror world was Heather’s choice.
My real objective was to find a copy of Alan Syliboy’s Where the Owl Calls Your Name. I had this in mind for one of the grandchildren. Fortunately, we made a stop at Endless Shores in Bridgetown. It is a beautifully illustrated Mi’kmaq legend. It did not disappoint.
So far, I am part way through Skidmark Calligraphy. I will wait for Heather to work her way through Naomi Klein. Thursday (30th) we look forward to live music at Kings Theatre. It was an excellent show. Well worth, the night drive !
