Trent Hills Library Book Fair. So nice to celebrate the launch of Overtime with my old student Mary Dumka.
The last few years my events have been in Toronto, at TPL High Park, WOTS Toronto, and Free Times Cafe. Looking forward to this Trent Hills Library thing closer to home! I will bring copies of Seeds, Green Music, Playground of Lost Toys and others (it depends on what I find in the box).

Highbush Cranberry from my walk. I'm grateful folks are standing up. Here in Canada it makes a difference to us. Thank you. So many of us are worried about our US families. Be safe.

If I hadn't purchased Elizabeth's book, I wouldn't have noticed she wore the same beautiful blouse to the reading that she wears in her author photo! Clever!

Of course I then had to explain about PLR, #PublicLendingRight. Taking our books out from libraries benefits authors, including financially! Took home amazing books by Elizabeth Greene and Daniel Maluka, both of whom read amazing poetry for the last day of Poetry Month.

Thank you Henry Martinuk for photos of the TPL High Park May Event. Organizer Bernadette Gabay Dyer had a table of all our books available in the library. I was surprised and honoured to see a few of mine! Several folks withdrew library books rather than purchasing. Lindsay Zier Vogel reads, below.

On Earth Day Several of us read at Free Times Cafe from our short fiction in Through The Portal: Tales from a Hopeful Dystopia, edited by Nina Munteanu and Lynn Hutchinson Lee. Lynn Lee also read from her debut, the eco-horror novella Origins of Desire in Orchid Fens.

The Arabic I heard in the audience took me back to Tunis, the paintings my mom did there. In #OmarElAkkad's first novel American War the united Middle East is called Bouazizi, after the man who ignited the Arab spring in Tunis.

Pisaster ochraceus at Port Moody, outside Vancouver, September 2023. There were countless clusters along the water. Sea stars are an environmental success story. They have recovered at least in British Columbia from the Pisaster disaster, the die-off from wasting disease of 2014-15.

Virgin's Bower or Old Man's Beard?
Is it naturalized from a nearby garden, or is it indigenous here? A volunteer, I found it beside the Ouse River in the rewilded part of my yard. My vote goes to Clematis virginiana and not Clematis vitalba, but some of you may know it better.
