"E.G.N. Lafleur leads poetry devotees on an intimate pilgrimage through the wet cold of Ontario winter, where city becomes wilderness, memory becomes revelation, and to love is to feast in due season. A truly impressive debut." - Sydney Hegele (Bird Suit & The Pump) @egnlafleur.bsky.social

Happy St Brigid's Day, the day people traditionally spout more ahistorical nonsense about Irish "goddesses" and "pre-Christian customs" than on any other day of the year. Resist the BS! Here's a really good piece by Tiago Veloso Silva as a little antidote: www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...
