Sparks warmth


The NQ had a lovely time at Sparks this year - and the readings were recorded by CBC's Jamie Fitzpatrick for The Performance Hour, so you'll have (another) chance to catch them. The foyer, where we set up alongside Running the Goat, Walking Bird and Rattling Books, was festooned with balloons and feathers, the closing reception featured California pinot grigio, Chilean reds and herring, and even the weather more-or-less co-operated for most of the day. The sessions were packed; there's surely something very comforting about spending a winter Sunday being read to; comfort food for the ears.
