Our time with 2022-23 Canadian Writer-in-Residence @leahhorlick is coming to a close. Here's a throwback to one of her first community events of the year, a @singleonion#poetryreading at @shelflifebooks with @jones_yyc, Jaspreet Singh & Tyler Engström 🧡 https://t.co/lqzJALzHeA
“We’re trying to make Congress more than just about researchers and their research, and thinking about how community produces research, and how community might act as an archive.”
I loved both of these texts. I read @toluini's in a single mad-dash sitting and I read @adamyael's over weeks, one poem at a time, first thing in the morning, in the same meditative way he wrote them. Wonderful experiences both.
@CanadianPoets @SpongePoet @coachhousebooks This doesn't surprise me. This book has been a fixture on my bedside table and I've been reading it solidly for the last two months. It is excellent. Congrats @SpongePoet !
In THERE'S MORE, Uchechukwu Peter Umezurike interrogates the possibility and necessity of holding multiple homes.
It’s a crucial topic in this time of vastly increased displacement and immigration.
