A friendly reminder that I’ll be leading not one but TWO free poetry workshops this month in honour of National Poetry Month!
Please bring writing tools to each workshop. I’ll bring the inspiration – and we’ll raise our glasses and pens to poetry!
Wednesday, April 12 @ Oxley Estate Winery – Facebook event page here! Let us know you’re coming!
Tuesday, April 18 @ Budimir Library – Facebook event page here! Let us know you’re coming!
Later today, I’ll be heading to CJAM to be interviewed by Adam from the Windsor Public Library for the radio show ‘Off The Shelf’! Can’t wait to have a in-depth conversation about poetry!
As well, I’ll be back in the classroom at Glenwood Public Elementary and Marlborough (with Ben Van Dongen!) and then off to Sarnia to speak to students there. What a packed and exciting month!
Come the end of the month, it’s Toronto- here-we-come – as musical goddess Carmel Liburdi and I hit big city to jam with Samantha Bernstein and Adebe DeRango-Adem at The Steady Cafe.
Saturday, April 29 @ The Steady Cafe – Facebook event page here! Let us know you’re coming!
On the 30th, I’ll be reading at the Oakville Literary Cafe at 4pm! I’m. So. Pumped!!!
