I'm in the process of making the move to bluer skies with both my regular account and the #NiagaraFalls #Poetry Project account. If you have an account over there, please feel free to follow either or both of my accounts. I will be winding these accounts down over time.

After #Confederation the federal & provincial #elections were held at the same time. I've posted a witty #poem about the candidates in #Niagara and who & why the #poet was #voting for (Conservatives won both)

I've been adding #ekphrasticpoetry, courtesy @ekphrasticrev. Ekphrastic writing is inspired by a work of #art, in this case Church's 1857 #painting "Niagara" It's fascinating reading the poems, and seeing the various forms that #poetry takes. #Niagara

@iamkatmann Congratulations!

[Lousy Librarian @LousyLibrarian]

When prison’s full of librarians:
* Gangs named after Hogwarts houses rumble with ones named after Meyers-Briggs types
* Prisoners negotiate not with cigarettes but contraband packs of golf pencils
* Someone forgets their email password, you give it to them as a prison tattoo

[Andrew Porteus @acporteus]

Lots of coverage from The Lake Report @thelakereport about the library brouhaha, including a magnificent picture of 2 handsome dudes by Richard Hutton. Stories p. 3 & 17, editorial p. 8, & letter to the ed. on p. 9

I made a presentation to the board, indicating that their reaction was far out of line with what should have happened. Read the presentation below
