Wordsfest 2023 — “Stories of Medicine, Illness, and Disability” panel
Honoured to be taking part in Wordsfest’s 10th anniversary this year. Hope to see some friends in London ON (in the Museum) on Sunday Nov 5 at 4:30 PM. I’ll be discussing The Covid Journals (U Alberta P, 2023), The Suspect We (Palimpsest Press, 2023) and Saving (Great Plains Publications, 2023), and will be part of a panel including Therese Estacion, Bahar Orang, and Vivian Chong. Not to mention the theme of this session, I love the overarching theme of the anniversary: crisis, creativity, & care. Schedule can be accessed by site navigation here. & if you can’t make this event, do remember that I’ll be in London the Wednesday before, on Nov 1 2023 at 6:30 PM for the Black Mallard Reading Series with January Rogers (Mykonos Restaurant, 572 Adelaide St. N). I’ll read from The Suspect We.
Both Saving and The Suspect We reviewed in The Winnipeg Free Press!
Thank you Chris and melanie!

Rounds at Toronto Western Dept. of Family Medicine
Wednesday 11 am 2023, via zoom, private event. But shared here because once upon a time, I was a pariah for being ill, & now I’m doing rounds because of the dailiness of illness and non-neurotypicality. Title of talk: “Solidarity at the Cultural Front: On Disability Work in Medicine.” Will conclude by reading from Saving and The Suspect We.
