I am so thrilled to have three of my poems in the current issue of Canthius! Thank you to the editors for giving these poems a home. Another gorgeous issue!

I am so honoured to have two of my poems included in the recent anthology Voicing Suicide from Ekstasis Editions, edited by Daniel G. Scott.

I am beyond overjoyed to share the news that I have received the Priscila Uppal Memorial Award for Poetry!

I am so grateful to Canthius and the contest judge Phoebe Wang for selecting my poem “After Learning My Friend Has Cancer” — and for her kind words about it. I am also grateful to those who supported the award and to Priscila Uppal for her extraordinary legacy. This is such an honour. Thank you, thank you! The poem will appear in Canthius 08 this summer.

I’m so grateful to be reading at the second Wild Words North festival next month. And I’m so looking forward to the five incredible feature writers: Billy-Ray Belcourt, Kym Gouchie, Erin Moure, Jillian Ridington, and Richard Van Camp!

We are so fortunate to have a festival like this in northern BC. Get your tickets now!

I am so thankful to have one of my poems included in this anthology from Caitlin Press, Sweet Water: Poems for the Watersheds, edited by Yvonne Blomer. I can’t wait to read the other poems. And what a beautiful cover!

So I finally created an author website! It’s still a work in progress, so please bear with me.
