A couple of my books - Rabbit Punch! (2014) and Blackbirds (2018) - are in good company at NDG’s Benny Library. And it seems that my latest, Ghost Face (2020), is in process and on its way there soon, too! . . . #gregsantospoetry #rabbitpunch #blackbirdspoetry #ghostfacepoetry #montreal #ndg #bennylibrary #montrealpoet (at Benny Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp7uEjhguDKhxsAsUjLdcIGZH4mmXyOugxUX0A0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy to find my poetry collection BLACKBIRDS on display at Montreal’s @bibliowestmount! This was my childhood library when I was growing up, so I was tickled to find it in the New Books section while visiting the library yesterday with my family! ❤️📖🐦 . . . #gregsantos #blackbirdspoetry #bookstagram #poetry #montrealpoet #montrealpoetry #eyewearbooks #montreal #westmountlibrary #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity (at Westmount Public Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3M1eW1gNQ-/?igshid=144f37sgrahto
