I attended the Bob Edwards Luncheon on November 10, 2010. Aside from the food being fabulous and my meeting with Lawrence Hill, author of Book of Negroes, I was absolutely thrilled to meet Aritha Van Herk. Feeling a little out of place at the party, it was a pleasure when she approached and introduced herself and shook my hand. There was an underlying "welcome to the world of writers" in her approach. Thank Goodness. It made me feel a little less nervous at the party.
