On the occasion of receiving my PLR (Public Lending Right) cheque, I give you my poem about wanting to make out with the library.
I wrote my books in libraries. And once i showed up (having just moved house, drunk on post-partum hormones) at my local with my three year old child and three day old baby and found solace and a soft place to sit.
The library is a miraculous place for these and many other reasons.
Thank you Canada Council for the Arts and the Writer's Union of Canada for making sure writers get paid when their books get borrowed.
