Today we speak with Shannon Maguire, the author of fur)l) parachute (BookThug) as part of The WAR Series: Writers As Readers, which gives writers an opportunity to talk about the books that shaped them, from first loves to new favourites.
After three chapbooks, fur(l) parachute is Shannon's first full length poetry collection. Though inspired by Old English poetic forms, its playful treatment of everything from fly fishing to knot tying will have poetry enthusiasts hooked.
Read on to hear from Shannon about the book that kept her housebound, a desire to follow in Indiana Jones' footsteps and an enviable line up of books to read.
