October Events

Even though September is slipping through my fingers, and I'm making wild pacts with myself to say no to everything that crosses my desk for the next several months, I'm looking forward to some lovely events that will take place in October.

The first is the 20th Anniversary show my partner, Robert Lemay, is having at Wallace Galleries in Calgary. Hard to believe he's been showing there for 20 years! The opening is October 3, from 2-5 pm and we'll be there. If you're in Calgary I'd love to see you....

As for me, I'll be giving a brief reading at LitFest this year in Edmonton at the PEN Writers Cabaret, October 15, at 7 pm. Details here. I'm looking forward to reading alongside and hearing Myrna Kostash, Su Croll, John Paul Himka and Tony Cashman.

I'll also be reading in the Canadian Literature Centre's Brown Bag Lunch Series at 12 noon, University of Alberta, Arts and Convocation Hall Building on October 21. I'll be reading a little from each of Calm Things and Red Velvet Forest and a small excerpt from my work in progress.
