Poets Al Rempel and Harold Rhenisch are touring together to celebrate the release of their latest books of poetry. Rempel's Sprocket is a series breathless prose-poems capturing his childhood adventures spent roaming free in the small farming community of Arnold, BC. Rhenisch's The Salmon Shanties explores memories of people, place and returning home written in couplets that move between English and Chinook Wawa.
