LEANNE SIMPSON READS FROM “DANCING ON OUR TURTLE’S BACK”

Posted on June 8, 2012 by Black Coffee Poet

After months of back and forth emails I finally got to meet Leanne Simpson and video tape her for blackcoffeepoet.com.

We met at a Toronto coffee shop. Our meet and greet was short, we got to work, and it was all gravy!

Hearing Simpson read confirmed all the great things I heard about her writing. (Read a review of her book.)

Read and an interview with Leanne Simpson too.
