Presses. Please email me to ask if I want to review a particular title on my Brilliant Women Inc blog. I do this for free, don't review first books, only review books by Canadian women. Otherwise it is just getting popped in my book box. In other news, I survived singing an acapella cat song on CBC!

Great to hear this interview with my former student, Guy Elston! It was a pleasure to write a blurb for The Character Actor Convention, a book that I recommend you seek out at an independent bookshop, request from your local library, read conspicuously in public, etc.

In this NBN episode, I speak with Toronto poet Guy Elston about his delightful debut poetry collection, The Character Actor Convention (Gordon Hill Press/Porcupine’s Quill, 2025). This is persona poetry at its finest. To listen in, click the link below: newbooksnetwork.com/the-characte...

Thrilled to see this! Thank you for choosing my poem for your series, Vicki. As well, my thanks to the editors of The Night Heron Barks, who obtained permission to reproduce the Georgia O'Keeffe work. A dream journal.

Honoured that my poem "Harmonics" brought joy in 2025 to Walrus Editor in Chief Carmine Starnino! "5. This opening line in Kateri Lanthier's luminous poem 'Harmonics,' which I immediately accepted: 'Like a private nightclub, this bright ambulance.'"

Greatly enjoyed reading new poems and discussing chapbooks, full-length collections, and poetry world with Prof. Richard Greene's class in the MA in English in the Field of Creative Writing, University of Toronto. Many thanks to Rick Greene for the invitation.

I met my daughter, an undergrad at U of T, for coffee at the Royal Conservatory before teaching the first class of Poetry II (winter) in the School of Continuing Studies, U of T. After the class, a student said, "You're so passionate about poetry! It's great to be taught by someone so passionate."
