Confessions of a Pilgrim Launch Event a Dramatic Affair

Click to Play

Confessions of a Pilgrim (i-Universe Publishers / Distributed by White Knight Books) more deeply explores the terrain of multi-talented author Sue Kenney's first book, My Camino. She returns to the celebrated ancient Spanish pilgrimage path to walk 500 kilometers alone on the Portuguese Route. Prior to leaving, she was entrusted with a sacred Eagle Feather by a Native friend as a result of a vivid dream. Her overt mission -- to find a worthy recipient before returning home. But the Camino presents her with dramatic and intensely personal truths, which she shares in her live performance reading here.

Sue's Launch Event in Toronto's Lula Lounge was an opportunity to share a little of that drama through her own reading as well as presentations from friends and artists including fellow pilgrim/author Robert Ward, musician Leon Kingstone, filmmaker Karen Hines (My Name is Pochsy: An Industrial Film), Bruce Pirrie and his comedy troupe The Gents, all brought together under the deft hosting talent of engaging MC Naomi Snieckus with musical direction / accompaniement by Bob Derkach. The BookShorts film similarly entitled "Confessions of a Pilgrim" was also screened.
