Presented in celebration of Ontario Culture Days 2025.

Book*hug Press presents the Literary Lounge!

Participate in our Poem Wall! Drop in to choose from a selection of custom poetry writing prompts. Respond to them in any way you wish, there are no wrong answers - that’s the beauty of writing poetry. We’ll also have colouring pages. Fun for the whole family. Once you're done, add your completed poem to our Poem Wall!

Also, make sure to catch fifteen-minute readings by Book*hug authors Lindsay Zier-Vogel (The Fun Times Brigade), Hana Shafi (People You Know, Places You’ve Been), and Derek Mascarenhas (Coconut Dreams) happening throughout the afternoon! Books will be for sale!
