Photos! Toronto launch for Carolyn Smart's Hooked

In late April, the lovely bookstore Type, on Queen West, was bustling for the launch of Carolyn SmartHooked (Brick Books).

Photographer Lisa Myers was there to capture the event for Open Book. Please click on any photo below to launch her gallery and enjoy.

Hooked is a new collection of seven poems about seven famous or infamous women: Myra Hindley, Unity Mitford, Zelda Fitzgerald, Dora Carrington, Carson McCullers, Jane Bowles, and Elizabeth Smart. Each of these women was hooked on, and her life contorted by, an addiction or obsession. You can find Alessandro Porco's wonderful interview with Carolyn Smart about Hooked here.

We hope people are happy to see pictures of themselves in Open Book’s image galleries, but if you’d like your photo removed please contact us at info@openbooktoronto.com and we’ll remove it as soon as possible.
