"My poetry dwells in the difficult corners of selfhood that so often house complex emotions such as shame, obsession, lust, despondency and nostalgia. It is here where I sort myself out" Loving these words from @carlie_blume on poetry our bookshelf today. poetrycanada.org/digital-librar…
"Poems became prayers and translations for adolescent melancholy and angst. In these early years, I was knitting stanzas into tiny home-made journals" Wishing folks a good week. Sharing words from @DianaSaltSpring on our bookshelf! poetrycanada.org/digital-librar…
"Poems are playgrounds made of language. Play is essential to life." Welp, the kids are off to the playgrounds at recess. The poets are making playgrounds out of language, as @PaulVermeersch so eloquently puts it. Wishing everyone a happy week! poetrycanada.org/digital-librar…
"My poetry persists in a state of suspended completion[…] It remains flexible, changeable, ready to be adapted to the world and the needs of the moment." Get your Labour Day reading in with poems and words from @kkaaiiee. And some deserved rest too! poetrycanada.org/digital-librar…
"Your own safety. Your own pain. Your own falls. Your own fault. Your own fault. Your own body and it’s haunted halls and absentee owner." These lines, and more, are all the feels. From @nisamalliwrites on our bookshelf today! poetrycanada.org/digital-librar…
"Many of my poems contain images of creatures, beings and experiences that have been somehow maligned or ostracized." New poems from @delanivalin on our poetry bookshelf! poetrycanada.org/digital-librar…
"Poetry is not a genre so much as a methodology for my interaction with the world. I am not a “solo” writer" Happy September! Please check out the new poet profiles on our website as we share them this week! Beginning with @eleekg! poetrycanada.org/digital-librar…
Every time we login to our gmail, gmail says, Hi Poetry.

Hello, please come to @CanadaPoetryin’s next Mid-Summer Write-a-Thon! Why? 1. Because we are cool and know cool poets. 2. Cool poets will be at the event. 3. I made a Pantone poster riff.
Advance copies of my debut poetry book. Thank you @guernica_ed . Looks fabulous! Can be preordered with Guernica. Official launch is in September 2023! Thanks to all who supported me including members of @tops and @CanadianPoets @CanadianPoetry @CanadaPoetryin
I know everyone’s freaking out about the Mona Lisa, but this is an actual crime. Mondrian didn’t just paint a bunch random lines and colours. His work was about perfect balance and harmony, a direct visual response to the horrors of World War 1
6. Mondrian, Composition with Red Blue and Yellow Welp, AI tried to add some colors OTHER than red/blue/yellow, but it did generally try to think about grids and blocks of colors!
next week! I love this line up. come through! 🖤

Thnx to the Canada Council for the Arts, and to the Public Lending Right Program, and to libraries & readers for showing their support of Canadian authors. (Every year, the “Dear Author” part makes me cry b/c my 15 yr old self can’t believe my dream came true.❤️) @CanadaCouncil
I think my best AWP conference advice is don’t, under any circumstances, try to save money by staying in a hostel with a bunch of writers you don’t know. Unless you love stepping over a pool of some MFA student’s vomit on the way to shower before an early morning panel.
The good people at SpokenWeb have shared this essay and poem of mine.
Today, a new #ShelfPortrait from Stephen Collis (@stephenscollis) details the foundation of the Blaser Study at @SFUenglish. Commemorating the late poet and professor #RobinBlaser, the room is a study in what it means to inhabit another writer's library. richlerlibrary.ca/shelf-portrait…
