Connolly's Portrait

Thanks to Kevin Connolly's friends and colleagues who suggested that they liked my photo of him so much, he chose my photo to be used for promotional purposes. This candid photo was snapped while he was on stage at the Ottawa International Writers Festival this past spring.

[from The Scream Literay Festival: Kevin Connolly’s most recent collection, drift (Anansi, 2005), won the 2006 Trillium Award for poetry.
