Flax, Litfest’s publishing imprint, has produced its first "proper" books, Before the Rain and West Coast, North Hill. The writing is great, I have to say. I’ve yet to figure out the best way to present books on screen without taking photos, so there’s nothing here to see, but you can see (and buy if you like) the books through the litfest site at
www.litfest.org. They are really great, honest. And Vancouver people, there is even poetry referencing the Vancouver Fireworks competition and Lake Okanagan – or similar.
