I’m back from the first leg of my book release tour to the Maritimes. I’m so incredibly grateful to everyone who hosted me, read alongside me, drove with me, broke bread with me, played pool with me, bought my book, and supported me with kind words or otherwise! What a tremendous honour and privilege to share this poetry space with all of you. (I wasn’t always great at taking or collecting photos, so if you’re not featured here, please know I appreciated every moment.)
