• share a short excerpt from @nycterosea.bsky.social's review of @zoewhittall.bsky.social's No Credit River from @bookhugpress.bsky.social that appeared in @malahatreview.bsky.social
☀️📚If you're near Leamington this coming Saturday June 6 between 2 & 4pm, I hope you'll join us at Essex County Library (Leamington branch) for a free poetry reading! I'm very honoured to be featuring alongside @dalockhart.bsky.social for the inaugural event of Parnassus Poetry Series.
Always an absolute pleasure to review some poetry for @malahatreview.bsky.social, spend some time with @zoewhittall.bsky.social's work, and muse about the porous genre boundaries of poetry. Here are some excerpts from my review of No Credit River from @bookhugpress.bsky.social.
