Years ago, I began writing short reflections on places, people, and moments that have stayed with me in the form of postcards. I now share them with my mailing list and recently had the chance to read and discuss a few on Writers Radio. Here is the link to tune in:

RED FUJI out in Japan in a month. Here's the cover. A few Boston Brahmins adorn it. Wonder why... #canlit #translation #Japan #Japaneseart #Hokusai #Boston

How do you like the cover for my new novel RED FUJI? Hits shelves in Japan April 25. Fiction with historical characters, interesting presentation. I like it!

With my incredible, girlish, 89-year-old friend Joy Kogawa at the Toronto Reference Library where she wrote the groundbreaking novel OBASAN about the Japanese-CDn internment. She wanted to see if her plaque was still there. It is. 5th floor!

on #InternationalWomensday I am thinking of my many friends and colleagues of #TheShoeProject. Women from around the globe who came to #Canada as #immigrants or #refugees telling their stories and making us all stronger. Happy Day to you all, and I miss you!

On our US boycott, we watched North of North (CBC Gem) last night. It's great. Why did it take me so long? @cbctv.bsky.social
