Post-Launch Relaxation
26 July 2007
A huge thank-you to everyone who was out to share in the Five Weeks launch party fun on July 25th! The launch was a roaring success.
DailyHaiku founder and ultra-host Mike Gravel gave a spectacular overview of the power of haiku and haibun in the modern world, the post-reading merriment was truly merry, and many copies of the chapbook now have happy homes in the greater Edmonton area. A selection of event pictures will be posted in the archives some time in the coming weeks.
For those who missed the launch and still want copies of Five Weeks, they can be found lounging on the shelves of Edmonton's finest independent bookstores or—for out-of-towners—online via a number of major sellers (see the books section for more purchasing information).
