A little birdy told me icehouse poetry (@goose_lane) is reopening for manuscript submissions in April. They publish some of the finest poets in the country: Sue Sinclair, @DBernierCormier, Matthew Walsh, @aliblyther, @tanja_bartel... and, maybe soon, you?

No joke, people: @DBernierCormier is launching his second poetry collection at The Lido on April 1st, 7pm. With guests @selina_boan, Sheryda Warrener and me.

This is the official opening event of Poetry Month. Don't miss it!

There was an opportunity to promote emerging Canadian poets alongside those big international names and ... you didn't do it? That says something.

@DBernierCormier @roblucastaylor @selina_boan @goose_lane What time?

Hello come party with me
April 1st @ The Lido

[Claire Matthews @ce_matthews]

Looking for recs for #neurodivergent poems & poets. Ideally queer. Doesn’t have to be a book. Could be a single poem! 💖💜💙

Not all submission guidelines are created equal.

Happen to include identifying information? Really, the person effected most is you—we won't auto-reject for that, pretty much ever.

But a white abled cishet American subbing to our BIPOC/trans/disabled Canadian call...

[Despy Boutris @itsdbouts]
