It's been a long time coming, but this Thursday marks the launch of my first book of poetry- Tangle. It's not yet available for online purchase (although is available for pre-order on Amazon), but will be soon. In the mean time, the only way to get a copy for the next few weeks is if you swing by my book launch this Thursday! If you're in Toronto, I do hope you can make it. You can read a couple poems here, and here.
Even if you aren't sure what your feeling on poetry might be, come by and say hi, I always like meeting knitting buddies in real life!
Update: To answer the question about my name on the book, it's my maiden name. Crawford is my married surname.

Congrats, Julie! That's amazing. Wish I could attend your launch.
Your poems are lovely - if the rest of the book is anything like the sampling you linked to, I am very excited to read more.

Congrats Julie!! That is soo exciting! Montreal is not exacty around the corner, otherwise I'd swing by!!
That's amazing! I'm not a big poetry reader, but that's more for lack of patience to sift through all the stuff out there than anything else! I may have to pick up a copy of this :)
Julie, I've been reading your blog for many moons now. Once you mentioned that you wrote poetry I was very curious to read some of your work. The two poems you reference are so, so lovely. Congratulations on your new book. Meagan
Congratulations, and have fun at the book launch.
You know - I just found your page (thanks to Knitty - yay!) less than a week ago and already I'm like - let's be besties! Although...take the creeper out of that because I'm really not that crazy. But I love knitting (duh...hence Knitty) and was once a poetry writer myself. It feels like so long ago...too long. I had some amazing writers as profs in college. I miss that world so much.
Congrats on your book!!!
So exciting! Congrats on a wonderful accomplishment!
Wow Julie I'm glad I stopped by. This is great for you. I will be sure to get my copy!

Why the name change?
I have been so behind on my internet communications lately, that I have no idea if I've already said this or not...but oh my goodness, it is so amazing that you are publishing a book! So, so, so exciting. I wish I could have attended your book launch (and hope you had a great time)! But at least I can pre-order the book. Huge congratulations to you!!!
the imagery in your poetry billows with haunting specificity. i'm going to have to buy your book. congratulations!
