‘Tis a grand year for the League of Canadian Poets! It’s turning 50! Many new and exciting things are happening this year, including the start of a new blog. I’m happy to announce that I will be writing a bi-monthly column on Parenting & Writing! I’m super happy about this as I feel I always have so much to say on this topic! As well, I will be writing other posts for the blog throughout the year. I’m honoured to be a part of this new endeavour for the League. I’ve been a full member for several years and it’s been only a positive experience for my writing life and career!
I’ll let you know when the blog starts and when my columns posts.
I hope you enjoy what you read, and get to know the League and its members a little more each time!
Thanks LCP!
Also, keep the month of April on your radar, poets, as it is National Poetry Month! The theme this year is ‘The Road’.
