On Thursday, August 4, the eight Fish Quill Poetry Boat Tour participants and their friends, family and other well-wishers celebrated the beginning of the tour at The Boat in Toronto. From August 4–13, they are travelling the Grand River by canoe, stopping along the way to read at various venues. Visit Open Book's Events page to see if the poets will be paddling up to a town near you.
