On June 11, 2008, Diaspora Dialogues partnered with Luminato, Toronto Festival of Arts + Creativity to present the launch of the third book in its anthology series TOK: Writing the New Toronto. The event was held at the fabulous Drake Hotel.

Photographer Lisa Myers was there to cover the event for Open Book.

TOK, Book 3 features fiction, poetry and drama generated through the Diaspora Dialogues annual commissioning/ mentoring program, which matches emerging writers with established.
