Next week! Kingston was my home for a time—a very confusing but looking back, crucial time in my life (especially my writing life!)—and I’m grateful for all the wonderful friends I met there.
Excited to be back on October 24th at 7 p.m. for a reading at Novel Idea Bookstore.

ALT A poster for Jaap Blonk's reading at Brown & Dickson bookstore on Friday Oct. 11 at 7pm. The reading is at 1025 Elias St., London, Ontario. Tickets $10 or PWYC. There is a hand-drawn, surrealist outline of Blonk's head in the middle of the poster and some Dada-esque red and blue blocks in the lower left. The poster also indicates that the event is sponsored by Western University

ICYMI, I was on @CBCRadioCanada’s Ontario Morning yesterday talking about my collection of short fiction, Widow Fantasies, & how my husband is still alive & well.
(Had to do the interview soy bean field adjacent, since cell reception sucks at home.)

ICYMI: Read @Puneet_Dutt's poetry in Issue 27! From "Resurrection of the Dodo":
...
He asks if we can bring the Dodo back,
and I want to say yes, I want to say,
resurrection is not only for the gods ...
