From the halls of Parliament to the streets of Toronto and the shores of Hudson Bay, Ontario is filled with a diversity of experience and a literature that is yours to discover.
To get the conversation started Fresh Air host Mary Ito and In Town and Out host Michael Bhardwaj were joined by David Dollin, Joanne Saul and Daniel Klein.
David Dollin has been a bookseller in Ottawa for more than 40 years and currently runs his own literary special events business.
Joanne Saul is the co-owner of Toronto's Type Books.
Daniel Klein is the president of the Northwestern Ontario Writers Workshop and a writer of short fiction and the occasional poem himself.
