"So now I’m eagerly hunting for more books. Sometimes I get the old-fashioned hard copy. I’ve recently been reading dry Bob Woodward (a disappointment so far), funny Michael Cohen (an unexpected surprise at least so far), singer David Geary’s memoir, Sky Gilbert’s brilliant Shakespeare analysis (I am on my third trip through this remarkable study), Fareed Zacharia’s newest & John Lithgow’s funny new book."

Writer, spoken word poet and editor Dane Swan grew up in Bermuda listening to stories and music. As an adult living in Canada, he loved performing slam and spoken word — poetry that rekindled his love of the written form. His new book is a labour of love called Changing the Face of Canadian Literature. It's a Canadian anthology that Swan compiled and edited. It features contributions from Canadian writers including Doretta Lau, Ayelet Tsabari, Jael Richardson, Kaie Kellough, Doyali Islam and Charles C. Smith.
