Thrilled to be a part of #BEGastown - follow us @briefencounters on Insta for a sneak peek at our summer residency, and stay tuned for our site-specific installation and performance this September! 

I am just thrilled to announce that For Your Own Good has been named a 2016 Stonewall Honour Book in the Barbara Gittings Literature Award category. Huge thanks to the American Library Association and their GLBT Round Table for this incredible gift. Look for the sticker on copies of FYOG soon, and hope to see some of you in Orlando this summer for the award ceremony! 

Where to begin with this magical year? Thank you so, so much to:

• The whole team at Caitlin Press for bringing For Your Own Good into the world
• Amber Dawn and Vivek Shraya for our life-changing "Where the Mountains End" book tour
• Broken Pencil magazine and Alison Lang for naming me one of ten artists to watch in 2015
• Michael Dennis, Mette Bach, AfterEllen, Casey, and so many more generous reviewers of FYOG
• Deanna Radford and the Atwater Poetry Project for a lovely evening in Montreal
• Beth Maiden and Anil Vora for their wonderful interviews
• The Heels on Wheels crew for including three poems in their Glitter and Grit anthology
• The editors of the Best Canadian Poetry 2015 for including my poem, The Tower
  
  Wishing you all nothing but good adventures in 2016, and thank you again for making this year so transformative!
