all things said & done

Last Thursday night was Marita's book launch at UBC Robson Square. Her wonderful book of poety "all things said & done" was debuted in style by Marita herself reading some chosen works. I have known about the talents of Miss Marita for a very long time and was very excited that the world would now be invited into hers. It was actually quite emotional for me. I was thrilled to watch one of her dreams unfold and was very proud of her accomplishment. I know how hard she has worked and can appreciate how difficult it can be to survive as a writer.



Great poetry can bring one somewhere familiar but express it as a fresh and unexpected experience. It can also bring beauty into the most simple and routine aspects of life. Her poetry does both.

Congratulations Marita!

Purchase a copy of your own book online. You might also want to check out another fabulous poet, Jennica Harper and her poetry collection "The Octopus and other Poems." ( I would include a link but have no idea how.....can anyone help??)
