There is an epidemic of violence against women in Canada and the world. For many women physical and sexual assault, or the threat of such violence, is a daily reality. 'Walk Myself Home' is an anthology of poetry, fiction, nonfiction and oral interviews on the subject of violence against women including contributions by Kate Braid, Yasuko Thanh and Susan Musgrave. 'Walk Myself Home' began as a small idea: to create a chapbook and sell itat the next LoudSpeaker Festival. The responsewas overwhelming. This small idea found a chorus of voices, and its sound was too big for a chapbook. About the Author: Andrea Routley is the co-founder of Victoria, BC's LoudSpeaker Festival, a festival of music, theatre and poetry in celebration of International Women's Day. 'Walk Myself Home' is her first anthology. |
