Book signing - For the Win by Jay Brazeu

This action-packed poetry anthology, edited by award-winning poetic collaborators Irene Latham and Charles Waters, features twenty contemporary athletes who have overcome obstacles, broken records, and inspired fans around the globe. Poets zoom in on a meaningful moment from each athlete’s career—including Juan Soto’s father predicting on his tenth birthday that one day he’d play in the World Series and Simone Biles coming back to compete after getting the twisties during the Tokyo Olympics.

Jay Brazeau is a children’s poet who lives in Ottawa but resides on the outer edge of imagination – a scene where cats groove in houndstooth jackets, chickens sell eggs and a pigeon’s pockets are packed with popcorn. His poems have appeared in numerous anthologies, magazines, public art projects and online publications. He’d like you to follow him on Instagram @theotherjaybrazeau.
