October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Everyday this month I will be sharing a poem highlighting both living with and surviving domestic violence. These will be my personal experience but also intended to highlight what I know many experience in the shadows in fear. Thank you

On this day in 1986, Canadian author Robert Munsch released his book Love You Forever.
It is a book that originated from tragedy but from that tragedy came something wonderful and beloved around the world.
This is the story of one of Canada's most acclaimed books.

The request: divert $8 million from SPD’s $68 million proposed budget increase and give that money to the arts. The reasoning? Art […]

Instead of my work, today it seemed appropriate to lead with one of the most influential elegies, ‘Annabel Lee‘ by Edgar Allen Poe.
Its unique tone echoes one of the inimitable truths in life: "That which begins as a fairy tale rarely remains so, for the darkness ever lies in wait."
