Dub Poets Collective Reading

Toronto friends– if any of you are free this Friday, I’m reading for the Dub Poets Collective Reading Series. Super excited about it. And I owe apologies pretty much across the board for not telling anyone about this trip or making plans to visit you. What a jerk I am. I miss my Toronto friends! But the rollercoaster these last couple of months has been seriously serious.

Here’s the blurb:
