My Cemetery Friends: A Garden of Encounters at Mount Saint Mary in Queens, New York
“My Cemetery Friends” is back in the global limelight, set to be highlighted at the Frankfurt Book Fair and The Word on the Street Toronto. TORONTO, CANADA, September 27, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Celebrated poet and author Vincent J. Tomeo is no stranger to the international literary stage. Having previously held a book signing at the LA Times Festival of Books and with his work featured at the London Book Fair, Tomeo continues to make his mark at renowned global book fairs. This fall, his book, “My Cemetery Friends: A Garden of Encounters at Mount Saint Mary in Queens, New York”, will be featured during The 76th Frankfurt Book Fair and The Word On The Street Toronto’s 35th Annual Book and Magazine Festival.
In “My Cemetery Friends: A Garden of Encounters at Mount Saint Mary in Queens, New York”, Tomeo masterfully guides readers on a contemplative journey through life’s fleeting moments, all while walking the tranquil paths of a cemetery. Serving as a tribute to military personnel, loved ones, and even the forgotten, this 80-page book delves into themes of connection, compassion, and the six degrees of separation, illustrating how even the briefest encounters can spark a chain of meaningful experiences.
Tomeo’s participation in global literary events has long underscored his international influence. Following his appearances at two of the most prominent book fairs earlier this year, his presence at both the Toronto and Frankfurt fairs this fall further cements his standing in contemporary literature.
The Word On The Street Toronto Book and Magazine Festival, Canada’s largest celebration of literacy and Canadian writing, will occur at Queen’s Park Crescent East, Toronto, from September 28-29, 2024. Visitors will find Tomeo’s book showcased at The Maple Staple Booth in Zone B, near Stage B: Across The Universe, among a vibrant lineup of authors, publishers, and literary exhibitors. This bustling marketplace invites visitors to engage with authors, attend readings, and participate in various activities, creating an immersive literary experience.
Following this event, Tomeo’s book will be displayed at the 76th Frankfurt Book Fair from October 16-20, 2024, at Hall 5.1, Stand C35, Meese Frankfurt. As the largest book fair in the world, with representation from over 100 countries, the Frankfurt Book Fair is a premier global hub for literature, culture, and intellectual exchange. Tomeo’s work will stand alongside a wide array of international literary voices, placing him at the center of this prestigious event. Visitors are invited to stop by the booth and pick up complimentary copies of the book.
Vincent J. Tomeo, a native of Corona, Queens, NYC, has an illustrious career that spans decades and continents, with his poetry reaching audiences in Australia, South Korea, Spain, Italy, and other parts of the globe.
