UPCOMING 2024 Hi! Pressman Vincent Perez made broadsheets for a recent poem of mine (letterpress printed and die-cut on a 1970s Heidelberg Windmill printing press). $28, or just ask me. Mary Dean Lee and I will read on June 20, 7pm at De Still in Montreal (531 Av. Duluth Est). I will read from my manuscript Buttercup. I am facilitating an online poetry workshop called Casting Spells for the Atwater Writers Exhibition, May 14. I will host and read on April 11, 7pm at Atwater Library in Westmount (1200 Av. Atwater). This is a reading with Darby Minott Bradford and Christine Wu. [email protected] |
