Coburgh Ontario Picnic Table Anthology
One of my California poem, Pelican's Prayer was engraved onto a picnic table in the legacy project, the Coburgh Ontario Picnic Table Anthology.
Fixed and Free Summer Anthology
Three poems published in the
Fixed and Free Summer Anthology:
Another Lullabye for Insomniacs
the setting of the old sun
Mosterio de Santa Clara-a-Velha
When Words Collide
I also organized and participated in Naughty Night Reads, at When Words Collide, an afterhours collaboration of diverse local poets!
When a Poet Dies
We lost a poet in our extended community, David C. Brydges. I was moved to write a tribute piece, which was published on the Ontario Poetry Society website, a poem entitled When a Poet Dies.
When Words Collide
In August, I participated in When Words Collide Festival. I organized and am taking part in two events. First, a presentation and workshop of haiku and tanka sequence writing based on our 2024 publication with fellow Magpie poet, June Read.
Our Lady of the Truckstop
On October 9, I presented at the Owl's Nest Books launch of Jim Jackson's newest, Our Lady of Highways. I shared a few new poems, inspired by his title, and read to his music: Our Lady of the Truckstop, and The Patron Saint of Lost Words.
