Exciting news! I'm thrilled to be working with the brilliant folks at @mitpress! Sincere thx to @CBucci_bookman for helping bring the voices of animals to a mass audience. This book is for the animals we have saved, those we have failed & those whose fates are still in our hands.

If you'd told baby writer me scrawling my lil poems in a notebook at Cafe Mokka that not only would Halifax one day have a lit fest, but that I'd be invited to it, I'd have passed out from joy, anyway come see me at the AFTERWORDS WRITERS' CONFERENCE!! I'll try to stay upright
Big day around here! Festival announcement AND a new virtual two-day conference. And beautiful posters designed by Kadeem Hinch!
