MARTY GERVAIS mentors to English students at the University of Windsor in a program of editing and publishing. The students last week used the printing facilities at the University of Windsor Bookstore under the supervision of its assistant manager Martin Deck to produce two print-on-demand copies of books that are being edited by this class. These were printed on what is called "an espresso book machine." Gervais described it as "a literary vending machine." The following day, these same students put on a fundraising poetry reading for the program, and invited writers Peter Hrastovec, Mary Ann Mulhern, Kate Hargreaves, Penny Ann Beaudoin, Ellie Csepregi and others to read from their works.
