Birthday Book Launch — Closer to Closure

You are invited to celebrate the launch of Drew Walker’s artful and breath-taking poetry collection, taking place during her 30th birthday week! 

Closer to Closure is Drew Walker’s second poetry book, following Confines of a Free Spirit (2020). This collection reflects on the everyday joys and sorrows that shape us, exploring love, loss, relationships, and awe-filled moments with honesty and lyrical contemplations.

More than a book of poetry, Closer to Closure is a work of art. Each poem was originally typed on handmade, recycled paper—botanically embedded and naturally dyed—then faithfully reproduced, giving every page a tactile sense of honesty and care. From cover to cover, the collection radiates intimacy, creativity, and the universal desire to live fully and authentically.

Where: 
Audreys Books
10702 Jasper Avenue
Edmonton, AB

When: 
Thursday, November 27, 2025
7 to 8 pm
