Helen Humphreys was the guest writer at the first of 3 events called The Readers' Festival. Helen read from three of her works, one called Apples, to be published in September. I have not read her work but as I bought two of her books last evening, I will certainly enjoy her work now. She was delightful. For 30 minutes she read, then she answered questions. She started out her working life writing poetry. It shows in her choice of words, even when speaking. One of her books is about the Napanee River, just north of Kingston, Ontario. The river is the protagonist. I can't wait to read it.
Six of us drove together from Western Head, all driven by Wendy. After one hour of the program, everyone retreats down the road to the Fire Hall where the volunteers provide a light meal. Our evening was festive and fun and as usual am astonished by the quality of the event, organized and run in this tiny old town. The event is impressive and all 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed our evening at The Readers' Festival at Port Medway.
