So, I have some news. Super excited to be able to say that Iโ€™m going to be a NeWest Press poet! ๐Ÿคฉ Attic Rain coming your way in 2024. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Canโ€™t wait for more. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ“š

Breathe.

Excited to have a charmingly strange visual poem in the form of an OCD paper weaving in the League of Canadian Poets chapbook anthology, Spectral Lines, edited by Kyle Flemmer (a fantastic Calgary poet, innovator, and community-builder).

You can get the chapbook (and browse the many other themed anthology options) here: https://poets.ca/publications/lcpchapbookseries/

Every year I find a book I talk about with every soul I encounter. Nine days in, Iโ€™ve found it. Dandelion by Jamie Chai Yun Liew is masterful. Gorgeous, heartbreaking, hopeful, and hard, every Canadian (and everyone) should read it.

I picked it up because of the cover, so kudos to Jazmin Welch, Ophelia Liew, and Arsenal Pulp Press for creating a stunning design.

My fingers are crossed that it will be celebrated widely. Big, resounding recommendation from me ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿฆ
