Last night’s Cactus Press launch was an evening of delight and surprise, as four new chapbooks were launched to a full and enthusiastic house.
Organized and hosted by Cactus Press publisher Jim Johnstone the evening celebrated the launch of Darren Bifford’s Wolf Hunter, Edward Nixon’s Instructions for Pen and Ink, Marc di Saverio’s Sanatorium Songs, and Sarah Teitel’s I don’t think I need to tell you.
There were also four short but engaging readings from Cactus alumni and about to be: Blair Trewartha, Andrew McEwen, Josh Stewart and Shane Neilson.
A special thank you to Catherine Skelsey for preparing and presenting the delicious spread.
A nod to Mr. Dane Swan for stepping up to pass the hat.

Happy Holidays!
