There are few things better than a new issue of Ghost Pine arriving in your mailbox. It only happens every several years, so you know you can't take it for granted. You have to give it the reverence it deserves; you have to savor it. 

This issue is full of brief stories, memories, the past and the present mixing together (as it often does in life): discovering coffee in the mid-'90s, late nights as a library patron, late nights as a bookstore employee, past lives in Ottawa and Montreal, present-day harbour life in Nova Scotia, the moment when the punk show slows down, remembering David Berman of Silver Jews, and a big box full of letters.

60 pages, quarter-size.
