As always, Pablo and Neruda teach us how to enjoy every moment. Pablo looking outside for a new fun today, Neruda resting to get ready for tomorrow’s fun.

On August 15th in history ... Pope Sixtus IV consecrated the Sistine Chapel in 1483! Ben Affleck was born in 1972! Plus Jason Heroux & Michael Glover will be launching their collaborative poetry book "Where We Left Off" in 2024!

Happy anniversary, little poem.

One day left until we launch "Where We Left Off" on Thursday Aug 15 at 430pm at Homesick Potter Studies (7 George St, Barriefield). Here's a sneak peek from inside the chapbook!

"The Literary Cow Festival" M.A.C FARRANT rob mclennan. "We believe cows experience eternity by living in a perpetual now. Doing so, they achieve a kind of grace, an unintended cow satori." Right on! If I can't be a cow in the next life, please let me be one here and now.

Here are a few excerpts from an upcoming chapbook by Dag T. Straumsvåg and myself, called “A Further Introduction to Bingo.” A great opportunity to get an early introduction to Bingo before the further introduction arrives!

Do you like readings, books, snacks, snappy conversations, and free admission? Good news! Here's where you can get all those things: at Novel Idea Bookstore on Sept 11 with Stuart Ross Wanda Praamsma Sarah Moses and Vera Hadzic.

This is tonight!! Very much looking forward to it!!

Hard to believe my debut poetry collection is 20 years old this year. Happy anniversary to "Memoirs of an Alias" and a big thank you to Mansfield Press for bringing it into the world.

When I watch a show and see captions displayed at the bottom of the screen, I think … someone should write a poem using these phrases. Thank you @pesbo for being that someone! Love this poem from her recent chapbook “Rushing Dusk” with above/ground press rob mclennan

Please raise your hand if you’ve ever had a dream. And kindly raise another hand if you’ve ever written a poem. Okay, if you have both hands up right now, why not consider submitting your work to arcpoetry.ca/contests/. Good night, and good luck. See you in your dreams.

Had a great time talking about poetry and "Like a Trophy from the Sun" for the Guernica Editions blog! guernicaeditions.com/blogs/guernica…

After a long night, today let’s try to take care of one another. kfpl.ca/programs-and-e…

Ken Babstock is truly some kind of extraordinary natural resource, and our literary cosmos is lucky to have him. If a loved one is working on a poetry manuscript this holiday season, a session with Rilketoast would be the best kind of gift.

Looking forward to this event Guernica Editions this afternoon at Supermarket! Hopefully we'll see you there.

You may be familiar with Bingo but how well do you know its mysterious & enigmatic essence? If your introduction to Bingo didn’t go far enough, this book is for you! "A Further Introduction to Bingo" above/ground press rob mclennan by Dag T. Straumsvåg & myself, out now!

Woke around 3am with a poetic line in my mind, something that hardly ever happens to me. “The Cloud of Unknowing snowed the unknown.” I’m going to have fun exploring this further, seeing what it might grow into. Anyone else wake up with poetic lines from time to time?

Smiling and going 'ah, yes, of course' are two of my favourite things ... thank you Kevin K. R. Wilson 🇨🇦 for your kind words.
