Me when I don’t have to go back to work for ten days, up early, walking around running errands, whimsically talking to everyone in the street like an absolute freak, complimenting people, skipping, just enjoying life. But sure, my job doesn’t affect my mental health at all.

Congratulations, all! Here are three interviews with finalists for the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize:

Remember polls? I love them still. In the process of accessing my life and career and just jobs. I feel such low confidence about being able to get a job that pays me a lot of money despite wanting a lot of money!

Would you hire me:

This is cool as hell!

Had a very good day without any Cadbury creme eggs so I better have one just to push things into extremely good.

Spring reading tour for Crying Dress! More details on some of these to come 🩰

It was a big deal! Enormous thanks to Dina Del Bucchia (Dina Del Beano) for visiting my poetry and fiction classes at U of Fraser Valley today!

EXCLUSIVE: the diabolical editor who “tacked on the ending” reveals herself and breaks her silence! 😂

I am 100% making a joke about how wild it is to imply that’s what a book editor does. Shirarose is a brilliant, award-winning editor & the absolute picture of professionalism.

I have a lot of feelings and thoughts about today, most of which I can't say here, but one thing that feels really clear to me is that the questions in #CanadaReads (ie setting, resolution/ending, community etc) don't really apply or serve a short story collection?

Listen, if you want to revenge buy DENISON AVENUE, I'm not going to stop you. #CanadaReads
