All four writers were there … even though one lives in London, Ontario. We made a stand up poster of him, so he was there in spirit.
A talented photographer friend of mine, Tracy Kolenchuk, took [...]

the whispers too long
deaf to their demands
they shift their form to

bestowing a blessing
a responsibility

__________moving in
__________moving through
my emotions
I am only human
my words are human too
