I'm really looking forward to participating in the launch of Elbows Up!, a new anthology about Canada, this Thursday in Toronto with @caroloff.bsky.social, Jesse Wente, and @elamin.bsky.social (who edited the book). I wrote “Canada Needs a Rewrite.” festivalofauthors.ca/event/elbows...
I wasn’t here 😭
That is alarming!

ELBOWS UP, a collection of Canadian writers putting their shoulders to the wheel on these questions, coming this October.
