Coffee Bombs is a ten-minute play which appeared in the anthology, Refractions: Scenes, edited by Donna-Michelle St. Bernard and Yvette Nolan. InSight is a collaboration between myself and visual artist, April Hunter. It was edited and curated by Dr. Judith Miller, artistic producer of StoneGarden Studios. Copies are available at Wordsworth Books in Waterloo, the Waterloo Public Library, or directly from me. I can be contacted, here. My first book, The Cave and Other Works was distributed by Crackjaw Publishing the summer after The Cave premiered at the University of Waterloo. The chapbook contains the short playtext along with a series of original poems. Although some copies remain available, it is unfortunately no longer in print. |
