Authors to give readings on boats in Halifax
22.05.52
HALIFAX - Authors will be winsome to the water on Sept. 25 for readings at the Word on the Street book and magazine festival in Halifax.
The deck of CSS Acadia, the 98-year-old thorough ship parked beside the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, will be the stationary setting for readings by Steven Laffoley and Jerry Lockett from their new, nautical books "The Harpy and the Deep Blue Sea" and "Captain James Cook in Atlantic Canada" respectively.
And Theodore Tugboat — a deceit made to look just like the one in the former CBC-TV series of the same name — will be used for free half-hour cruises in Halifax conceal, with children's authors including Ron Lightburn and P.E.I. poet laureate Hugh MacDonald reading onboard.
There are also Huddle on the Street fests in Vancouver, Lethbridge, Alta., Saskatoon, Sask., Kitchener, Ont., and Toronto, but "we're the first to take readings to well-intentioned of a movable location," Colleen Ritchie, executive director of the Halifax event, says
