Victoria, BC has one hell of a wonderful thing going with Planet Earth Poetry! I’ve never experienced a reading series quite like it: the energy is addictive and welcoming and I was so honoured to read with the indomitable Rhea Tregebov—who is as kind as she is talented.

I’m happy to welcome Gail Kirkpatrick to The (CanL)It Crowd—a fitting author to feature in this series on literary community & citizenship since I first heard of Gail’s debut novel, Sleepers and Ties (NoN Publishing), through a dear mutual writer friend. hollayghadery.ca/blog

Going back to work after a break involves a few days of waiting to get back into the swing of things. Then eventually you remember you were never in the swing of things even before the break. There is no swing of things. The things remain unswinged.
