FAIRY Spring 2027 Palimpsest Press
Jun 3 & 4 2024. A terrace reading among friends in Montreal celebrating she (a 65th birthday gift to myself). A living room reading in Kingston hosted by Sadiqa de Meijer where I found my fearless voice in the work (and saw the season’s first firefly near the train tracks). Priceless, all of it. Many thanks. Such good fortune.
It started with a book. And then, a card.* Some online lovin’. Email exchanges. A plan, with a ticket to ride.
All I know is I wanted to sit with the poet who wrote alfabet/alphabet & she in turn wanted to meet me.
We didn’t have to wait for a reading, or a panel, or any such thing. “Let’s plan an afternoon stroll.” A simple day trip.
And, we did.
Thank you Sadiqa.
*I carry to this day
