On the evening of May 24th, Justin Million from Bird, Buried Press presented three authors from Beautiful Outlaw Publishing House at a Show and Tell Poetry Series hosted at Take Cover Books. With regrets from author Phil Hall, authors Chris Turnbull, Mark Goldstein, and Jaclyn Piudik read from their new books—all published through Beautiful Outlaw—in an evening that saw the small room in Take Cover come together in laughter and community. 

Dozens packed into Take Cover Books' modest East City storefront on Hunter St. East in Peterborough—Nogojiwanong on the evening of January 18th to celebrate the release of author Drew Hayden Taylor’s most recent novel, COLD. The celebrated Indigenous novelist and playwright shared some reflections on his career, this most recent book, and the trademark humour for which he's known.

On November 21st, author Nathan Whitlock was at Peterborough’s own Take Cover Books, promoting the launch of his third book Lump. Whitlock described this novel as his “favourite” of all his books, about “relationships”, “class and privilege”, and “the power that we have over people, and we don’t even realize it.”
