I had a fantastic time in spring touring my book on Vancouver Island and Salt Spring. I started off in Nanaimo with Michael Armstrong, who published my very first chapbook in PG, hitched a ride from Duncan to Victoria with Susan Stenson, who I first met at Sage Hill, and read in Victoria and on Salt Spring with Kerry Gilbert, a wonderful poet from Vernon. Mona Fertig outdid herself with a book launch and party at the library and I had the privilege of staying in their writer's cabin.   NANAIMO, March 27, 6pm, Michael Armstrong's Kitchen Party   PORT ALBERNI, March 28, 7pm reading with Chelsea Comeau at Char's Landing, 4815 Argyle St., Port Alberni, Alberni Valley Words on Fire reading series    VICTORIA, March 29, 2pm workshop at Barbara Pelman's with Kerry Gilbert and a reading at 7:30 pm at Hillside Coffee and Tea, 103- 1633 Hillside Avenue with Kerry Gilbert, Planet Earth Poetry reading series   SALT SPRING ISLAND, March 30, 3:30 pm, SSI...

I had a lot of fun launching my book in Vancouver, with four readings in four days, but the icing on the cake was my Prince George launch at Theatre NorthWest. There was drumming by Clayton Gauthier, Spoken Word by K.Darcy Taylor, and a theatrical performance by Melissa Glover and her troupe.    My book was also featured at All Lit Up: Poetry in Motion

I had a great time running a writing workshop for Studio 2880's Business of Art series. We talked about the craft of poetry and resources for getting published.

I'm excited to announce that I'll have a new book of poetry coming out in just over a year with Mother Tongue Publishing. It's called Undiscovered Country and is all about the happy fate of our mortality.
