A little nest with two papier-mâché eggs rests upon an artist’s book with the poem ‘a barn swallow relative to objects and places’ between its miniature covers. The poem is inspired by a photo by Danny Miles—my poetry and photography collaborator.

My essay “Alterations” which appeared in the anthology “Waiting” (edited by Rona Altrows and Julie Sedivy and published by the UofA Press) has been nominated for the Writers’ Guild of Alberta’s James H. Gray award for short non-fiction. I am absolutely thrilled!

I used burlap coffee sack material for the covers of this stab-stitch book. Inside is handmade paper. There is something truly contemplative about working with paper and fabric.

‘Land and sea...silt of sleep’ is my latest artist’s book. I reworked a monoprint and salvaged text from my first novel ‘Recurring Fictions.’

My first novel Recurring Fictions was about the search for and the meaning of...home. Tonight I took some pages from it and constructed a miniature ‘home...’
