#yeg PARENTS. How's it going? Do you need a little coffee break? Bring the kiddos down to Audreys 10am-12pm weekdays. We're reading stories. Because we care about parents, kids and especially our teachers.

I didn’t know that feature existed. That’s a good tip!

My new poetry collection is a feminist response to stock photography, so over the next couple of days I'm sharing a few images with lines that they inspired. Here are the first four! chbooks.com/Books/S/Stock

This is a brilliant poetry collection. Hope to see you at Jide’s launch!
