Tremolo by Alison Hurwitz! oneartpoetry.com/2025/10/11/t... That hourglass at the end, the "geometry of separation" & the subdivisions "of certainty." Stunning.

"Contrafabula" by Nancy Huggett My mother didn’t end up in the hospital with an unknown diagnosis that quickly turned to cancer. The doctor didn’t draw black blood. The moon was not full, never full, never traced an amber arc in the...

A new flash up at @American Literary Review and the timing couldnt be better/weirder, as it is the 10th anniversary of my mother’s death from melanoma. I miss her. americanliteraryreview.com/2025/10/02/c...

Hollay, your poem made me shiver. The remembrance & tenuous connection, that waft! And how to words fall our on the page—seperste and then connecting. So wonderful to see an online journal/lit mag that invites the use of space on the “page”!!!

So many great poems (&poets) in here! @hollay.bsky.social & Laurie Koensgen!

Some wonderful poems out in the world today. First, this harbinger of winter in @pinholepoetry.bsky.social newest edition by @brettwarren23.bsky.social Brett Warren (and other stunning work... go visit!) pinholepoetry.ca/13960-2/

I know, right???

Have a wee one up at Canary Lit Magazine (canarylitmag.org in this autumn Equinox issue. Dive in and read some other remarkable poems like D.R. Goodman's On Returning to Asilomar "but the trees must seed their own / resistance on the bones of what remains" canarylitmag.org/contents.php...

I've been remiss in sharing this most brilliant Canadian poet. His exploration of masculinity and recovery and just being human is so tender and fraught. "My poetry is an exorcism of sorts. And my holy water is tenderness." Thank you @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social for making his Poet of the Year!

Thank you!

See you there/here!

New poem from my collection (out on submission) about caregiving and brain injury up at the lovely @thirdwednesday.bsky.social with thanks to @joankwonglass.bsky.social & the Ontario Arts Council & poetry mentors ntr & trailheads. thirdwednesdaymagazine.org/2025/09/12/w...

haha I just read this one to my husband this evening!

That would have been amazing!!!!

Thanks Ottawa Public Library for this stash of delight! And weather that invites sitting outside & reading poetry!

Red leaves, mostly some gold & the turn that I was expecting but also made me laugh & cry.

Ditto Jill. Plus, every time you post something new I have to drop what I’m doing to read it, then find my partner to read it to them (they don’t really read much poetry), and then we both read it again. The dog, the bucket, the dad, the dead dad, the leaves. Congrats!!! But mostly, thank you!

Well, I'm racking up the rejections, so it might be a while!!!

Thanks Anika!

Such a great lit mag! Funky & fun Funicular! Submit!!!

Thanks to the @Ontario Arts Council and @arcpoetry.bsky.social for support in completing my first poetry manuscript!

Thanks Frances. These chapbooks are amazing!

Well, I know I'm spending the next two years rewriting this one two-page poem, so its nice to know I'll have some company?

Saturday September 20, poetry chap launch with Dagne Forrest & @snullr.bsky.social (& guest reader moi!)
