Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, coastal inundation and erosion are top of mind. Climate messaging around Galway, where the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment's conference (theme: erosion) starts tomorrow. #coastalerosion #sealevelrise

I’m so grateful to the Winterset in Summer literary festival in Eastport, NL to have been able to present my novel The Crane and to hear from the likes of Heather and Arizona O’Neill, Jane Urquhart, Lisa Moore and Jack Whelan. #canlit #literaryfiction @breakwaterbooksltd.bsky.social

You have to respect a place where the official flower is carnivorous. #pitcherplant #newfoundland

Undercutting along our beach. #coastalerosion

That’s devastating. What a loss for you. 💔

Where’s your cottage, if you don’t mind me asking?

The ocean will soon pinch off the path to our cabin at high tide. #coastalerosion #sealevelrise

A meal of mussels, start to finish. #newfoundland #oceantotable

Thank you Lindsay!

Impromptu book signing!

@monicakidd.bsky.social was out for a hike with her family and stopped in to sign copies of her book THE CRANE!

You can order it through our website, or stop in to pick up a copy 10:30 - 5 (except Wednesdays)

This bank, where I found a human skull that had tumbled down from the eroding graveyard above and started me on my research into coastal erosion. This time with daughters for scale. This time one of my daughters found a tibia, which we gently covered over with stones. RIP.

Just another Sunday in Newfoundland.

Yay! Lovely to find myself on this list with a whole pile of reporter friends and colleagues. 🗞️ #ampa #journalism

Thank you Paula!

Epic mountain bike ride into Elbow-Little Elbow, and Mountains Forget-Me-Not, Tombstone, and Romulus.

I had a productive (and scenic!) trip to Kitamaat learning about the many layers to the Haisla Nation’s work to protect their shoreline and evolving ways of life while using industry as a tool of reconciliation. Look for the story soon in @thewalrus.ca

Salmon berries, Sitka spruce, totems and a peeping bear cub. Hello from Haisla Nation!

Very excited to see the preliminary program for the Association for the Study of Literature & the Environment meeting in Ireland this summer. The theme: Erosion. See you soon, Galway!

In a box of Mom’s things. So many unstoried photos.

Spring flowers of Kananaskis.

Ship’s Prow. 800m seemingly straight up.

A tremendous event with Kevin Van Tighem, Corb Lund and the luminous Robert Macfarlane. Quote of the night: “Despair is an indulgence; hope is a discipline.”

Toronto friends, save the date!

Thanks Kim!

The bees made all this fresh comb in 10 days. My family prefers to watch from a safe distance. And I caught a glimpse of the queen! #beekeeping

Good night from the prairies. Rest easy, Mom. We’ll all be okay.
