What better way to start National Poetry Month than to read Lana Crossman's November 2024 Award of Awesomeness winning poem. Get in the car to take a "Late Drive Toward Innisfil" in Lana's beautiful, image-rich poem. And congratulations to honourable mentions Gary Barwin and Andrew French!

So happy to have met you through this community, Shelagh.
It was a great pleasure to write about finding my way back to #poetry, with a lot of help from @bookninja.bsky.social and my colleagues at Walk the Line Poetry. Thanks to @robmclennan.bsky.social for inviting me to muse.

I highly recommend this course - whether you’re a beginner or a writer wanting a serving of inspiration and accountability.
Hey all! I'm back at this. First time I've offered my most popular course in nearly two years. Get for yourself or gift to someone else. I've had everyone from complete first-timers to national prize winners in the same course. Spaces are limited and classes are small, so sign up now to reserve.
