Newfoundland comes to Ottawa

Ottawa's Tree Reading Series, in its first quarter century already, is just getting better with age. Last Saturday, director Rhonda Douglas and the Tree team hosted a special gala reading celebrating Newfoundland writers with readings by Michael Crummey, Ramona Dearing, Stan Dragland, Lisa Moore, Russell Wangersky and Michael Winter. It was a great, entertaining evening -- and you can get a sampling of the night's activities from my event photos that are posted on Quill & Quire's web page.
