From honesty about the vagaries of the body's desires to the cults of medieval saints to the streetcars and the banks of the Don, Lafleur's poems probe what it means to be a queer person of faith formed by Toronto.

🏊♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.
In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.
Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

“Some vital aspect of [Christ’s] message—liberation from sin, insight into the heart of God, brotherhood among men in this heart—is taken over, manipulated and ‘staged’ as if man himself had produced it. All subsequent dualisms (including racism) belong to this family.”

‘Eärendil was a mariner
that tarried in Arvernien;
he built a boat of timber felled
in Nimbrethil to journey in;
her sails he wove of silver fair,
of silver were her lanterns made,
her prow was fashioned like a swan,
and light upon her banners laid…’

@egnlafleur.bsky.social’s chapbook The Magi Come to Toronto is a gorgeous, grounded delight. Faith and queerness and ceremony. Wounds. The unhoused. The transcendent. All tangible as lake water, as steam from a sidewalk grate, as the rough bark of a tree.
