Shab-e She'r is called "Canada's most diverse and brave poetry series." And while it may be that, it is also a love-fest! This was last week, reading with Mbonisi Zikhali Zomkhonto. What a blast. Thank you, Banoo Zan and all who came out.

I look at this beautiful display of potatoes and all I can think of is children in Gaza and it breaks my heart. What is taking so long to make this right?

Total fangirl moment with Christopher Rothko at a talk about his father at the AGO. In 2017, he gave my publisher permission to use this Mark Rothko painting on the cover of my book, The More. Today I asked him to sign it, gushingly. #art #Rothko #poetry

Christopher Rothko, left holding a copy of my book The More with a painting by his dad on the cover. Me on the right grinning madly.
