Victoria, the Poetry Garden

I had a wonderful trip to Victoria. I was interviewed by the multi-talented Kyeren Regehr for her Poet Laureate Podcast, and read for the renowned Planet Earth Poetry Reading Series alongside Phoebe Wang and rob mclennan at Russell Books.

I also met many wonderful poets, visited DC Reid’s home, and enjoyed dinner at Lorna Crozier’s beautiful place. So many good memories and wonderful photos. I even wrote a new poem, and was delighted that Charlie Smith shared it on both Pancouver and TorontoSpark.

I was so glad to visit the 8th Canadian Immigrants’ Stories Exhibition on World Poetry Day. I had the pleasure of meeting the project’s founder, Sholom Wargon. It’s a truly meaningful project.

Please feel free to visit the exhibition or explore the project online at immigrantstory.ca. After three months in Markham, the exhibition is now on view at the light-filled Pierre Berton Resource Library in Vaughan from March to May 2026.
