—Margo LaPierre, author of Ajar

November 15-16, 2025 (Zoom): Fall Poetry Intensive - League of Canadian Poets The League of Canadian Poets is pleased to offer two-day online conference dedicated to exploring and improving the craft of poetry.

Ajar is finally in print, and I wanted to do an unboxing video that would reflect my life in its fullness at the moment.

Postpartum proofreading,
dog walks & doctor’s visits,
precious conversations,
late nights,
diaper changes,
a little alone time,
a lot of family time,
and exciting mail.

“A devotion to poetry is a way to make friends, while devotion to specificity is a way to make poems.”

Thank you @robmclennan.bsky.social for the chance to share some of my thoughts on poetry ✨

Tune in tonight at 10 pm EST / 7 pm PST ✨

I strongly suspect that god/God is a category error for reality.

Teeth, Guts, and Growths: A Review of Buzzkill Clamshell by Amber Dawn
