My former student Aaron Tang/Sheung-King won the Atwood Gibson Writers' Trust Fiction Prize for his inventive second novel Batshit Seven -- about contemporary millennial diasporic life amid the Hong Kong protests. So chuffed! 2nd year in a row that a Guelph CW MFA grad has won this prize!

Look at the gorgeous cover of the hot-off-the-press French edition of Blaze Island (2020), Le Projet Ariel. Photo by NB artist Karen Stentaford. Shot of Oliver's Cove, Tilting. How lucky I am once more to have such amazing cover art for this novel!

Feeling ungrounded by current events? I am. So ... off to lead a retreat about writing on the land at the 600-acre Ignatius Retreat Centre in Guelph this weekend.
