Show and Tell

Patrick Warner and I both launched our books of poetry in St. John's on Tuesday at The Ship Inn (Me: This Way Out, He: Mole). It was an awesome night, with many of the city's literary mainstays in attendance and much debauchery. How much? Too much, apparently. I woke the next morning to the discovery that Lisa Moore autographed my arm. I have no memory of this. But I have a photo! Man, I love St John's.
