2025 Projects
October
Fixed and Free
On October 23rd, I co-featured at Fixed and Free in Albuquerque, New Mexico with fellow poet Charles S. Cobean. Charles and I are working on a collaborative manuscript of poems to be published in 2026 by Gold Wake Press.
The Floating Clares
On October 31, The League of Canadian Poets published my poem The Floating Clares, written on my trip to Portugal in 2024, in their Fresh Voices online series. https://poets.ca/the-floating-clares-josephine-lore/
Calgary Bestseller
The Moon and All Her Faces was listed on the Book Publishers' Association of Alberta as a Calgary Bestseller.
This joins ranks with my previous three publications, also Calgary Bestsellers: The Cowichan Series and In My Father's House.
Sense and Sensibility
I submitted a hallowe'en-themed haiku to Sense and Sensibility Haiku Journal in the US, and was thrilled to learn that it was chosen for publication.
The Moon and All Her Faces
On November 5th, I launched The Moon and All Her Faces live at Calgary's ShelfLife Books, with guest feature readers Weyman Chan, Telmo Dos Santos, Vivian Hansen, Stuart Ian McKay, Nash Lott, Patti Lott, and
musical guest Sonia Deleo.
Single Onion Reading Series
November 6, serving our local poetry community. As a member of the board of the Single Onion Reading Series, the longest reading series in Calgary, it is my role to help find feature poets for the Open Mic Poetry Night, publicize the monthly reading event, and
co-host. Here is a shot of me and co-host Paul Marshall.
