The Love Lettering Project on film

Sunday, November 27th, 2011

Though this year’s Love Lettering Project has been done for a while, I was approached by a team of Ryerson University documentary students about being included in their film on Toronto poetry. And so, off to the park we went to fill a tree with love letters and chat all things poetry.

We ended up seeing the Trinity Bellwoods albino squirrel (and I might have scared the bejeezus out of the sound guy with my shouting and clapping) and oh, the leaves were stunning.

Room magazine + The Love Lettering Project

Room magazine 34.3: Fluency

I am honoured to be included in the newest edition of Room. They published my very first published poems way back in the day and the incredible assistant editor, Brigid MacAulay wrote a spot on The Love Lettering Project for the “Back Room” section of the journal. Such an honour to be sharing the pages with Fiona Tinwei Lam and Karen Solie.

 


Oct. 2011: Embroidered books at The Paper Place

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

I worked with the most lovely group of makers this fall at The Paper Place, creating handbound books with embroidered covers. I so wish I had taken a picture of all of the wonderfully inventive covers!

Nothing I love more than a paper-messy table!!


Good finds

Monday, November 7th, 2011

How thrilling to get a note from a friend last week telling me The Love Lettering Project was up on Good Finder! Glory be! Such good company!

And another wonderful webby find: Allison’s incredible Courage Project (and Encouragement Exchange). A kindred spirit indeed. Turns out we know a bunch of the same people, though we live in different cities…and both share a deep fondness for airmail envelopes and Japanese paper from The Paper Place! We’re cooking up some collaborative goodness…!
