My name is Jess Silver. I have been interested in writing since I was very young and have always aspired to fulfill my passion. "Lake of Bottomless Waters" is my first book. It is a 20 page chapbook of poetry published this summer by the Ontario Poetry Society. The book explores themes of humanity, nature, love and the discovery and re-discovery of possibility and strength. The title is a metaphor of the journey that each individual's life goes to represent. It is symbolic of the idea that each person and each journey is different because of the different environments and experiences that both influence and inform our lives. The book is available at McNally Robinson Booksellers at Shoppes at Don Mills, Toronto. Stay tuned for future launch news.
