I'm going to Montreal to launch my new book with Stephanie Bolster and Gillian Sze! Wheeeee! If you're there, come!

(And if you can suggest a quiet restaurant open Sunday night I'll prescribe you a poem.)

Sometimes like now in a different town and on my way further, i am shocked by my utter freedom. And privilege.

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?
