Floored/delighted to share Iโ€™m nominated again (!) for the @writerstrust Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers, this time for an essay about trying to adopt a baby during the pandemic.

I grappled for a while with how to put this experience into words. The awkwardness, the double-edged hope, the weirdly vulnerable process of marketing your life story. It wasnโ€™t until I read Nova Scotia House by @thecharlieporter that I found a model for my slippery, looping state of mind.

Thank you to my fabulous and talented friends for their edits including @alicatraz, @aefamulholland, @banutabnr, @hellohuyentran and @missbrittab. And forever grateful to @carolyn_smart_poet, who founded the award and has now had the pleasure of hearing me scream-cry over the phone twice.

Looking forward to sharing the story soon. ๐Ÿ˜˜

Some news!! So honoured to be shortlisted for the Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers for my essay, โ€œBreach.โ€ (Link in bio!)

This essay is โ€” a surprise to no one who knows me โ€” about whales. But it also came out of my attempt to piece together what itโ€™s like to lose a parent to suicide, and the way we flatten people after they die.

Special thanks to @aefamulholland, @banutabnr and @alicatraz for their many edits and to @writerstrust for this recognition!! (And to @owsiackiphotography for the snazzy headshot.)

Was delighted to share my topโ˜€๏ธsummer reads โ˜€๏ธ with the @writerstrust, so resharing here!!

For me, the perfect summer read is like a vacation from my vacation, and I love escaping into the acid-washed dreamscape of Double Teenage by @celineandjulie. This is the story of two girls, Celine and Julie, living in suburban New Mexico in the 1990s who find unlikely magic in the desert heat and their budding identities as artists. An evocative coming-of-age novel that crackles with danger and longing.

In my mind, summer = short story season, probably because each piece feels like a little road trip. If thatโ€™s true, then We So Seldom Look on Love by Barbara Gowdy is a delightfully strange, unforgettable journey into the warped mind of a national treasure, bursting with horror and delight. Reading this collection is like visiting a weird, travelling carnival on the outskirts of your hometown.

So much of Edmund Whiteโ€™s writing is alive with sweaty nightclubs and summer trysts, and his recent death has me revisiting his work. A perfect summer read is A Boyโ€™s Own Story, which to me defines the vulnerability and heart that made him one of the greatest gay writers of his generation.

As for summer blockbusters, I am saving @ocean_vuongโ€™s The Emperor of Gladness for an empty August weekend. Few writers have his talent for capturing stillness and crafting a perfectly resonant sentence.

Writing is a joy, but building a writing life (career??) can often feel like playing darts in the dark. So the past week has been an absolute dream. Incredibly honoured to be among such deeply talented writers at the @writerstrust Bronwen Wallace Awards. Not sure if Iโ€™ll ever read in such a beautiful space again or to such a generous audience. Special thanks to @carolyn_smart_poet for creating this opportunity to celebrate emerging writers while honouring her best friend. Feeling very lucky.
