Since completing their term as Owen Sound Poets Laureate, author Rob Rolfe and singer-songwriter Larry Jensen have collaborated on a new book + CD project titled Late Nights on Irish Mountain, which will be launched at The Ginger Press at 7:00pm this Wednesday (November 20). The event will include poetry readings and live music from Rob and Larry, who will be joined by guest performers. 

Late Nights on Irish Mountain (the book) includes a collection of new poems and song lyrics as well as commentary explaining and exploring the origins of the songs by both Rob and Larry. With a Foreword by Andrew Armitage and illustrations by Patti Waterfield, the content provides a deeper insight to the creativity of these artists who are committed to capturing our local history in new and unusual ways. Late Nights on Irish Mountain (the CD) includes all the songs described in the book, augmented by some of the finest local musicians.

Everyone is welcome to attend the launch. Autographed copies of the book and the CD will be available for purchase separately or as a set.
