Today’s recommended read: “But it may not be enough to create, to contribute, to have influenced others if one feels, as I do now, that the very culture in which one was nourished, and to which one has given one’s best in return, is itself threatened.“

Daily smile for today... ☺️ #bluesky

We need more human beings.

A few nearby friends dropped off some beautiful bouquets from their gardens. And I ventured to Backstreet when I picked the boy up from work and came home with this Allan Ginsberg record. Also stopped at Forest Hill cemetery to say hi to a few poets.

Unfortunately, the news from pathology was not good for Lambert and we made the difficult decision to put him to sleep this afternoon. Apparently it was an aggressive form of cancer and we could tell already his quality of life was affected.

NB friends, please share! What a sweet little furhead she is. Her person passed away. :-(

Let’s kill it

Great reading today at Westminster Bookmark with Michael Pacey and Kasia Van Schaik! Books were sold because books were signed! Reading #2 from the new book!

Great to read from my new Gaspereau Press book for the first time tonight in Moncton! Next reading is Sunday in Fredericton, 3 p.m. at Westminster Bookmark!

Once in a while. Good morning Blue Sky

It's International Museum Day! Established in 1977 by the International Council of Museums, this day is meant to highlight the role of museums in cultural transmission and communication. This year's theme is "The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities."

OTTAWA ADVANCES! @pwhlcharge.bsky.social will make their first PWHL Finals presented by Scotiabank appearance!

#poetry for this morning: W. S. Merwin, "By the Front Door": Rain through the morning and in the long pool a toad singing happiness old as water

I know the Leafs are playing but if you’re watching that game, you’re missing an excellent #PWHL game! #GoChargeGo

“Death steals everything except our stories.” ― Jim Harrison

If you’re not watching, you’re missing a great PWHL game! Currently in triple overtime! Let’s go Ottawa!

Lots of copies of my new book — Metadata from a Changing Climate— down at Westminster Bookmark! Live the support from my fave local indie bookstore!

Vegan platter for lunch at Byblos today!

Had an eye-popping tour of the New Brunswick Provincial Archives! A great event put on by @unbalumni.bsky.social! Plus I won a door prize!

Congrats to Canisia!

My new poetry book has arrived! Thank you Gaspereau Press — it’s beautiful! 🤩

Happy independent bookstore day! Here’s my haul from today!

A pic from tonight’s triple book launch!

Amazon's book sale is obviously designed to undercut Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday. My thought? Use Amazon to browse if you must, then go to your local independent bookstore and buy or order the book from them. As a Canadian and writer, supporting local is doubly important right now.

Tonight! Come celebrate 3 new books by Fredericton poets (including me)! Unfortunately, my book didn't quite cross the finish line in time but the wonderful folks at Westminster Bookmark will be on hand to take pre-orders. and plans are afoot for a future event in the not too distant future.

What they call pedants (people who can’t resist correcting you’re spelling and grammer) in five different countries…. 5. Comma fucker (Finland) 4. Little dot shitter (Switzerland) 3. Whittler of woodchips (Norway) 2. Counter of peas (Germany) 1. Sodomizer of flies (France)

Went to listen to the prime minister speak in Fredericton tonight…
