CONFIRM HUMANITY open.substack.com/pub/canadian...

The beginning of a life long habit of leaning in. Before poetry, before punk rock, before East Van, just a little girl in Matapédia.

Don't miss the last blast of the East Van Abbey Cabaret this season! Tonight I'll be sharing some "dark woke" poems with CR Avery, alongside a cavalcade of kick-ass dancers, scribes, singers, and killer house band. Scoop up your $25 ticket by emailing: [email protected] Doors at 7. Show at 8 sharp.

Tomorrow night, see you there peeps! East Van Abbey Cabaret is always a blast and I'll be sharing "If I Were Artemis" and "Song for More Housing Not More Cops" from my forthcoming collection, Cariboo Ashes. 💕

Happy Mondy my pretties! My latest One Life • One Voice Substack entry. Shares and subscriptions most appreciated. open.substack.com/pub/canadian...

I wasn’t planning to share this yet, but the moment caught up. This is what it feels like to watch truth get buried in real time. And I am fed up with grown men treating life as if it were a video game. canadianginger1.substack.com/p/all-target...

ONE LIFE • ONE VOICE Let's flood the zone with OUR voices!

ART SAVES US One of two poems of mine in the latest issue of subTerrain! I’m a page baby, so it’s always a thrill to see my words in print. Gratitude to subTerrain and Anvil Press and to every hand that shapes beauty—thank you. #makeartnotwar #artsavesus #poetryrocks

Two wordsmiths, one long, enduring friendship, and a much-needed night of good food, music, and even better company. So grateful for this woman.

Autumn stroll in my hood. Have an excellent day my pretties! 🥰

Happy Birthday to my thoughtful, beautiful, extraordinary son!

Hold fast my pretties as we enter another week of utter and unrelenting madness! 💕 #FightFascism #nomaplemaga #IAMWOKE #peoplehavethepower

Just completed Firebrand, a screenplay from my novel The Town Slut’s Daughter. Runaway from rural Canada → punk icon in ’80s L.A. → everything she builds threatened by music, sex & violence. Looking for agents/producers to help bring it to life. Leads/advice welcome. Artwork: Victor Bonderoff

I can’t contain the news any longer! Amidst all the madness in this world, I’m thrilled to announce that my fourth poetry collection, 'Cariboo Ashes,' has found a home with the brilliant team at Anvil Press. #MakeArtNotWar #Poetry #CaribooAshes #AnvilPress #comingsoon PHOTO: Frank Gargani

Needed a haircut and a break from reality! Thanks Tina. tinabeauty.ca

Vancouver women kick ass! Thanks for this Ruby Music/Geist story Connie Kuhns. #womenrock #slaythepatriarchy #ThrowbackThursday

Prescient or what. Zealots have always creeped me out. The pendulum will swing the other way again, hopefully sooner than later. In the meantime, hold fast my pretties! #ThrowbackThursday #makemusicnotwar #womeninrock #slaythepartriarchy

'Phainting' by Tina Schliessler. Also served as the cover for an AURAL Heather album.

Brawny and burning with longing, Sideways hits the blacktop with women in control—riot grrrls, mall gangstas, heartbreak and heat on the horizon. The past haunts. The future beckons. Haley’s world swerves, crashes, and won’t let go. #poetryrocks #makeartnotwar

Art Saves Us. #ThrowbackThursday #makemusicnotwar

Wow, time flies and the bird is on the wing! But some things never change: Billeh is still brilliant and poetry still saves me. Happy Throwback Thursday my pretties! 💕 #makeartnotwar #poetrycommunity #ThrowbackThursday

#ProgressNotHate #FightFascism #nomaplemaga

Still buzzing! After years of connecting virtually, I finally met the fabulous, fascinating Bibbe Hansen in person—and we even shared the stage! At Great Weather for Media in NYC. #ThrowbackThursday #poetrycommunity

My mother, in the middle. What am I holding; a candle? A wand? Taken in Charleswood, MB, back when coffee tables were laden with ashtrays and doilies. I loved my mother though she wasn't easy to love. Childhood had warped her but we survived the generational abuse, just as she had. #MothersDay
