When I say there were some amazing poets at the @sappzine launch, I wasn't kidding. Featured here is New Westminster Poet Laureate @janetkvammen holding @theyoungandgifted24's newest poetry release, "Journal of a Black Man".

One of the cup-filling joys I am always grateful for within community events is bearing witness to inspiration made manifest. @sappzine was no exception. What a treat!

A sweet night of poetry with SAPPzine literary journal and Janet Kvammen, the poet lauereate of New Westminster in the cozy literary lounge of Wildfires Bookshop, sharing our work and gathering with writer friends.

A night off from the stage to the page 🥰

"...whispers through the screen, pros, cons, the promise to see you again, the warm night air teasing the fringes of my baby dolls..."

Excerpt from the poem "Stones" by J.G. Chayko published in SAPPzine.

Happy love day ❤️

A new addition to my bookshelf. This gorgeous zine is beautifully crafted. Many thanks to Wildfires Bookshop and SAPPzine's amazing editorial team for hosting a memorable launch party in the literary lounge.

My husband couldn't have said it better: No matter what, art finds a way.
