Big news! ARB's first fundraiser is officially live! We're shooting for the very modest goal of $1k, with lots of stretch goals in mind. Your support is of course appreciated, and any help in spreading the word would be wonderful!

Last week I got two pieces of poetry news on the same day and THIS was one of them. 🥹 My poem "Renfield at His Windowsill," published by the fantastic @smallwondersmag.com, is a Rhysling Award finalist!

Looking forward to seeing folks at @boskone.bsky.social this weekend!

Are there any fan artists who can do (Western) TV cartoon characters reasonably true-to-style who want to donate a little mischievous labor to some Canadian creative industry workers in a union fight against corporate greed? If so, send me a message and I can give you details!
