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, I’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 👏🏼👏🏽🦁

Hello, everyone. I'm terrible at self-promo, but I wanted to share my new modern-day middle-grade historical parody that is the right size for a December gift.
It's for grades 4-6 and has characters representative of the #LGBTQ and #Trans community. It's funny with a good amount of action and adventure. #KidLit #Books #WritingCommunity #CanLit #GiftIdeas @bookstodon

One year ago, on this date, I had "the call." Now I get to reveal to everyone the cover that tells the story of how I managed to make it through the longest yet shortest year of my life: by managing my spoons
PS: Preorder now!

What are you reading today?
I’ve been a poetry reader for PRISM since 2020, but my involvement is early in the editorial process. So seeing the final selections in the issues is always exciting. I recognize some work in Fall 2022—that always makes me smile!
Also looking forward to diving into Therí Alyce Pickens’s “Black Madness :: Mad Blackness.” It’s been on my wish list for a while!
