An incredible week. While home in New Brunswick, teaching medical educators how to foster learning amongst non-neurotypical learners, I received TWO notices of inclusion in the Best Canadian Series: poetry, for “How to lose the audience” originally published in The Malahat Review, & essay, for “Diagnosis Day” from The Fiddlehead. Both of these pieces concern difference, and it was a spiritual experience to read “How to lose the audience” to the assembled physician audience in the Miramichi. My thanks to Rowan McCandless and the ‘hat’s editorial board for selecting my work, and to the team at Biblioasis for keeping the ‘best’ series going.
