"write down everything you said to the bird
what you said about its feet, its belly, its soft red feathers
that is the beginning of the newest thing"

There goes my business, that and the futile expense to send anything stateside.
Local poet/artist Daniel Maluka reads from his riveting debut, Unwashed @mawenzihouse.bsky.social #artsetobicoke #nationalpoetrymonth
Every neighbourhood has their own community of stars, voices to be listened to, felt, celebrated... to be welcomed "into the fold" has been the gift of our cherished time in house at Arts Etobicoke this National Poetry Month. Gratitude to Ana and Zane and the poets, artists, and visitors #luckyus

Garth Martens reads from his new book of poetry, WHO ELSE IN THE DARK HEADED THERE, in Kelowna, BC, in a fully restored 1892 Gothic Style church.
Thank you to everyone who came out to my Kelowna book launch on Tuesday.
60+ people attended—former teachers and classmates from elementary through high school, and family, including my aunt, cousin, and my father.
This was the first literary event my father has ever gone to. That meant a lot.

Today is the birthday of Bob Kaufman who wrote:
Believe in the swinging sounds of jazz,
Tearing the night into intricate shreds,
Putting it back together again,
In cool logical patterns,
Not in the sick controllers,
Who created only the Bomb.
