Enthusiasm in Advance

So a copy of the book -- pictured right -- came in the mail last week. Pretty slick. And the orange is arresting. For lack of anything better to do about this, I'm posting our (surprisingly?) excellent blurbs. Get ready to get this book. Here it is at the publisher's page (it's Greystone Books) and with an old cover sketch at Amazon.

Maude Barlow, Council of Canadians:

"Filled with passion, insight, pain, celebration and hope, Notes from Canada's Young Activists is proof positive that social justice in Canada is in good hands."

Wade Davis, author of One River:

"These remarkable essays, so heartfelt and rooted in experience, are the poems of our children. Honour alone demands that we listen."

Velcrow Ripper, Genie-winning director of SacredSacred and upcoming documentary Fierce Light:

"A treasure trove of possibility, offering much-needed hope in this time of global crisis. A heart expanding must-read."

For the record, I didn't actually write any of the stories in the book, I was just the craft kid. So this isn't completely self-promoting and boasting. I don't want to pull a Paul Wells here.
