In @iamomeara's Masses on Radar "every poem contains flashes of literary gold; not the gold of glitter but real literate gold, words in combinations never before seen but that shine with brilliance."

Why do some politicians never mention the 45,662 Canadians who died of COVID? Or their families? As if they are not victims of the pandemic? Or the healthcare workers who worked over-time under brutal conditions and risked their own families health? 🤔
If there's anything I've been completely consistent with it's not giving one f**k about the Kardashians.
Ottawa: tonight at Perfect Books (258 Elgin St), Plan 99 presents poets Barbara Nickel (@BarbaraNickel1 ), Bardia Sinaee & Adele Graf. 6:30 pm. Come on out.
