William Hawkins (photo by Alan Neal/CBC) was on CBC Radio's All in a Day today discussing his brand-new Chaudiere title, The Collected Poems of William Hawkins, edited by Cameron Anstee, with radio host Alan Neal. Thanks, Alan! You can hear the entire interview, here. 

And don't forget about tonight's launch! Unfortunately, Bill isn't feeling well enough to attend, but Cameron Anstee will be reading in his stead, alongside N.W. Lea launching his Understander, and an acoustic set by poet/musician Jesse Patrick Ferguson.

And of course, you can order Bill's new title directly, here.
