Much love for Filipinx comrades and community impacted by horrific violence during Lapu-Lapu Day celebrations. For ppl seeking support such as meal train or counseling, you can access resources thru Filipinx-led mutual aid network coming together. Share widely: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Saturday!

Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day was on March 20—the same day A TWO-SPIRIT JOURNEY took home the Canada Reads win. Everyone at UMP is extraordinarily honoured to be part of sharing Ma-Nee's story and grateful that so many more Canadians will now be part of it too.

A great launch last evening of two new books in the Lyrik Poetry Series: John Weier & David Waltner-Toews. Thanks to @mcnallyrobinson.com for being so great & to the many folks who came out to help us celebrate. Big thanks to @sarahens.bsky.social for being an excellent host. Livestream: t.ly/pkjz_

if the current griffin longlist has you down, be sure to see my 'best of' 2024 Canadian poety titles here, as a reminder for all the amazingness that was published through Canadian literature last year: dusie.blogspot.com/2024/12/a-be...

Proud and pleased beyond measure that Ma-Nee’s life story, A Two-Spirit Journey, is this year’s Canada Reads winner. If you haven’t read it yet, move it to the top of your list 🩷🩵
