Welcome to my website. Here you will be able to find information about various aspects of my professional life as a poet, novelist, children's author, and non-fiction writer, and as a workshop facilitator, occasional radio broadcaster, and teacher of creative writing, children's literature, and a course on L.M. Montgomery at the University of Prince Edward Island.
In 2010, I will be artist in residence in the Cataract Gorge, Launceston, Tasmania, will participate in the 2010 Tasmanian Poetry Festival and in "Sounding the Earth: Music, Language, Acoustic Ecology," the 3rd biannual conference of the Association for the Study of Literature, Environment, Culture -- Australia and New Zealand, University of Tasmania, Launceston.
Closer to home, I will be poet laureate for the 2010 PGI Tournament for Literacy and will give a poetry reading and a writing workshop at the "Time and a Place: Environmental Histories, Environmental Futures, and Prince Edward Island" conference cohosted by the Institute of Island Studies, the UPEI Environmental Studies Program, and the Network in Canadian Environmental History.
Please investigate my website, and contact me if you would like more information or to arrange readings, workshops, or school visits.
