Published annually, our chapbooks reflect the diverse and
dynamic personality of the North Shore Writers' Association.
Within the pages of these small books the reader finds
an eclectic mix of stories and poems created by our members,
who range in experience from novice to professional and
published writers. Our most recent chapbook was published
in November of 2005 and is proving to be our most popular to date.
Every year we print a limited number
of our most current chapbook. Many of these are bought
by our members as keepsakes and gifts for admiring friends
and families. However there are numerous copies of the
chapbooks made available to the public that can be found
throughout the North Shore in gift shops, gallery spaces
and independent bookstores. Keep your eyes open for our
next little piece of literary delight.
The following poem is a sample of the
eloquent work found in our 2003 Chapbook, Northwords:
| Touch |
| By
Bernice Lever |
| Somehow
you live on your surfaces: |
| textures
are all; |
| sensations
everywhere heightened: |
| a
fine cross hair; |
| colours
sharpen: |
| a
kaleidoscope tunnel, then blur |
| blending
one into each other; |
| footsteps
and waterfalls |
| echo
your heartbeats |
| as
you breathe |
| in
one another. |
