Guelph!

Part of the permatour! Surprising sales at the Albion last Tuesday night, great crowd. Thanks to River Street for running a great ship. And people came from work, NO WAY, that’s a feat rarely accomplished. With thanks to those friends especially.

COVER REVEAL

My hybrid verse novel concerning Willard, an intellectually disabled man, and a white-tailed buck, set at the dawn of the Cold War in southwestern New Brunswick. Damn, Julie Scriver does beautiful work.

I have a new article out in Image on Spencer Reese. Willard (an intellectually disabled man left behind in the expropriated land that would become CFB Gagetown), a character from my upcoming book The Reign with Goose Lane Editions , would say MOOOOOOON. How did they know – Appalachians, moon? My thanks to Nick Ripatrazone – check out his The Habit of Poetry, it rules, I learned so much.

Imagination Writer’s Festival 2023

Last weekend I attended the Imagination Writers’ Festival at the beautiful Morrin Centre in Quebec City. It had been a longstanding dream to have my work interpreted musically — and it came true on April 16! Depicted are the movements performed by the Orchestre Symphonique du Quebéc & prose description that was juxtaposed to “Deep Religious Faith,” a poem that first appeared in The Walrus and that later was collected in You May Not Take the Sad and Angry Consolations with Goose Lane Editions. Plus a picture of the wonderful trio.
