Calling all Augurian bards! 🪶 We're reopening POETRY submissions for our Fancy & Fantasy Issue! 📢 Until AUGUST 1, we're accepting poems from BIPOC, Trans and/or Disabled creators in Canada. Send us your odes, free forms, and everything in between! 💜 augurmag.com/submissions/


Finally, finally read @manahilbanduk's MONUMENT and it somehow surpassed my every hope and expectation. All of it lingers, but "Restart"... to be able to pause and try again and have an island full of cherry blossoms instead. I had to sit quietly with that for a long time.


Congratulations Amy!!

Good morning, my book comes out today!!

Thank you as well to @ddialogues for their support in recommending me for a grant! I'm so thrilled and so grateful.

Immense gratitude and thanks to @ONArtsCouncil, @mawenzihouse, @HALmagazine, and @guernica_ed for awarding me Recommender grants to write my debut poetry collection on girlhood, monsters, and the folklore I grew up with that shaped how I think of all of it.
