I love Saskatchewan so much I'm coming back for a 2nd visit this winter! If you're in North Battleford, please come to the library on Wednesday to hang out. In the afternoon I'll share some writing advice with students, and in the evening I'll talk about the path to Moon of the Turning Leaves

If you haven’t read Moon of the Turning Leaves yet, please do. It is the follow up to Moon of the Crusted Snow & @waub.bsky.social has gifted us a deeply moving & beautiful story filled with love, trust & resilience (+ a few moments of deep grief) within his words. A true balm for my weary heart πŸ’™πŸ“š

If you're looking to add another podcast to your listening habits I would recommend Unknown Worlds of the Merril Collection. They recently spun back up again with a good interview with @waub.bsky.social His books are great and worth checking out.

It was a real treat to have @waub.bsky.social on the pod this week. As an author I admire, his insights meant a lot and he may have even convinced me to try my hand at fiction one day. Catch it on Eastlink or listen below.

My only complaint about hearing β€œThe Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” a million times this past week is being repeatedly subjected to Gordon Lightfoot’s butchering of β€œgichi gami”. He clearly didn’t have a Anishinaabemowin speaker nearby during songwriting!

Saw Tom Morello in North Bay last night. He told some great stories and played some stellar tunes. Very cool that he visited us here in Northern Ontario!
