International Women's Day 2023

IWD 2023 is almost here! This is an excellent week to read books by women and nonbinary authors.📚💜

I did say this was a random, irregular blog!

I just noticed that I haven't posted in nearly three years—our "unprecedented times" and all that. In a meagre attempt to remedy this, I'm making a post! I have poem called "How Do I" in the 2022 League of Canadian Poets' chapbook On the Storm / In the Struggle: Poets On Survival, edited by the talented Adebe DeRango-Adem, if you feel like ordering a copy. Only $12 for great poetry!

Also, it's #PLR Public Lending Right time! Through this amazing program, Canadian authors can receive royalties for having their books in Canadian public libraries. Registration is open now until May 1, 2023. Check out the PLR site for more details.☺
