This fall, Project Bookmark Canada will be unveiling four new Ontario installations containing a significant piece of text from a story or poem. The ceramic plaques will be installed in the exact Ontario locations described in the passages.
This year's Bookmarks are:
"Song for the Field Behind Mississauga Valley Public School" from the Trillium Award-winning Tiny, Frantic, Stronger by Jeff Latosik, published by Insomniac Press, will be Bookmarked in Mississauga on September 30 at 11 a.m.
The Queen of Unforgetting by Sylvia Maultash Warsh, published by Cormorant Books, will be Bookmarked in Midland, in Little Lake Park on October 4 at 11 a.m.
"Giants" from Two or Three Guitars by John Terpstra, published by Gaspereau Press, will be Bookmarked in Hamilton at Sam Lawrence Park on October 6 at 10 a.m.
Sailor Girl by Sheree-Lee Olson, published by The Porcupine's Quill will be Bookmarked in Port Colborne at Lock 8 on the Welland Canal on October 12 at 10:45 a.m.
The public are invited to attend all unveilings.
“We’re very excited to place these stories and poems in the exact locations where they’re set, marking these crossroads where the real and imagined landscapes meet,” says Miranda Hill, Founder and Executive Director of Project Bookmark Canada. “Fans of the books can visit the sites that sparked the scenes and read them right there. Passersby can discover the literature in the landscape, and get a new perspective on a familiar locale.”
Throughout the fall, Open Book will highlight and explore all aspects of the Bookmarks with interviews, articles, videos and contests.
