I love it too. Do you know what "pricked my alertness "? Ian gave his friend some toilet paper and bridged the divide that social distancing has brought us to.

Met up with Ian Williams @ianwillwrite who you know as this year’s Giller prize @GillerPrize winner for his novel Reproduction and so many of his former classmates and my students (1991-1993) were able to join us. Christmas arrived early for me this year. Buy his book already.

After reading two of @ianwillwrite 's earlier books, I knew he was a major major talent. Should have known he'd win a Giller some day.

Teachers are everything. They are the hope of a new generation of thinkers and doers and they deserve our undying support. Without them- we are in a lot of trouble.

Working the weekend shift means I get to delve into non-transit stories. From @maywarren11 and I: A retired teacher is reconnecting with his former student Ian Williams, after the Giller Prize-winning author thanked him in his acceptance speech Monday thestar.com/news/gta/2019/11…

Author never forgot his favourite teacher. Now they’ve reconnected decades later after a shoutout...

Giller Prize winner Ian Williams thanked elementary school teacher Peter Lucic from the stage at last Monday’s gala. Then the tears began to flow.

Classmates of @ianwillwrite who participated with him in the International Poetry Guild's online program and helped produce the award winning journal "CHOICES" . He was named OUTSTANDING MALE POET for all the schools that participated. That's Pat on the left. 1992 I think.
