Join me and a few other Ottawa writers at Club Saw on Feb. 18 at 7:30 pm. It’s a celebration of @flolitmag.bsky.social … it’s presented by the amazing reading series Riverbed Reads… it’s going to be a great evening. Hope to see you there.

It is brutally cold out there. If you or anyone you know needs access to a warm place, call 311. We can arrange transportation and someone will direct you to the right place to go. The @ottawapublichealth.ca website has a list of shelters and warming spaces: www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-he...

Check out George Murray’s New Poetry project and read a new poem each week. Thanks for including me, George!

Thank you @ceeeejohnson.bsky.social and @arcpoetry.bsky.social for choosing my poem. I’m ready for another road trip!

What better way to start National Poetry Month than to read Lana Crossman's November 2024 Award of Awesomeness winning poem. Get in the car to take a "Late Drive Toward Innisfil" in Lana's beautiful, image-rich poem. And congratulations to honourable mentions Gary Barwin and Andrew French!

So happy to have met you through this community, Shelagh.

It went really well! Great to see so many people together and excited by indie presses.

Toronto folks! I’ll be reading from my new chapbook @meetthepresses.bsky.social Indie Lit Market on Nov 17. Would love to see you there!

My latest chapbook is coming out soon! You can preorder via @pinholepoetry.bsky.social at pinholepoetry.ca/shop-for-poe...

I’m reading, along with other Ottawa poets at this @flolitmag.bsky.social launch. Would love to see you there!

I highly recommend this course - whether you’re a beginner or a writer wanting a serving of inspiration and accountability.
