In 2022 I was commissioned to write a poem in response to the 100-year anniversary of "The Waste Land" by #tseliot, along with a few other poets from Canada and the Ukraine. Now it's a chapbook.

A wonderful way to kick off a few in-person events for my new novel TO PLACE A RABBIT (Knopf Canada, 2025).

Such a pleasure to be able to host these three incredible books for a School of Environmental Sciences #Collaboratory outreach event. Fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction all with unique lenses on our environmental crises. #universityofguelph @uofguelph.bsky.social @emwf.bsky.social

Pleased to have been invited to @umontpellier.bsky.social and to have spoken with one of their staff writers this summer. Here's her "portrait" after a long and lovely conversation on a patio outside on the covered market of Les Halles Laissac. www.umontpellier.fr/hall-of-fame...

“Fiction can change our lives.” Dr. Madhur Anand, #UofG environmental sciences prof and award-winning poet, launches her debut novel this fall — blending science, fiction and desire. Read more: news.uoguelph.ca/2025/09/madh...

I’m thrilled to share the news that I will be participating in a number of literary festivals and public events this coming September in southern Ontario to discuss my debut novel "To Place a Rabbit" which released this past spring. RSVP to your local event directly on their websites.

Coming up soon! Eden Mills Writers' Festival (Eden Mills, Ontario) www.haltonhillstoday.ca/local-news/h...

Au revoir @umontpellier.bsky.social Thanks for hosting this collaboration with my lab @uofguelph.bsky.social at your Institute for Advanced Studies (MAK’IT)

Thank you so much to scientist & writer Dr. Stephen Heard for generously reviewing my first novel TO PLACE A RABBIT, which he clarifies is not a novel about science but "the characters happen to be scientists."

The Montpellier Advanced Knowledge Institute on Transitions at @umontpellier.bsky.social will host a workshop I'm leading on predicting tipping points. This workshop will nourish collaborative knowledge and deepen understandings of tipping points through art & science.

Congratulations, Jessica. Great work, and a pleasure working with you.

“Rendered in immersive prose that is as slippery as memory itself, To Place a Rabbit is a compelling portrait of a person who, undone by desire and inspiration, obsessively analyzes — and tampers with — the evidence of her past.” --Literary Review of Canada reviewcanada.ca/magazine/202...

Happy publication day to @globalecochange.bsky.social's TO PLACE A RABBIT! 🤩

Really glad to have a piece in the newest issue of @thenewquarterly.bsky.social, with @globalecochange.bsky.social, @ronnabloom.bsky.social, and many others. Thank you to Pamela Mulloy for inviting me to contribute. Thanks also to the juvenile squirrel for coming to pose for a photo.
