“Reading the world its rights”—in Steinbach
11 October 2008—Steinbach, Manitoba
Sam W. returned to his birthplace yesterday for a poetry reading and book-signing event at the Mennonite Heritage Village museum in Steinbach. An appreciative audience (including the Bard’s parents and brother) was in attendance, and “avuncular Sam” held forth in style—for the most part more sacred than profane. Earlier in the day he made appearances on both Mix96 and CHSM radio. Thanks to Dr. Lawrence Klippenstein of Steinbach for all local arrangements and to the museum for the evening’s fine venue.
