@Lynnd @alan @vernilla @bookstodon
Great idea! I'll try to post once a week with #canadianwriters #canadianbooks I've enjoyed, starting with my most recent favourite VenCo by Cherie Dimaline. Magical realism that made me laugh out loud.

I co-authored an article with Moira Walsh called Digital Mountains, Ink in the Sink. It’s about doing an online writing residency at Banff. You can read it at periodicities : a journal of poetry and poetics. https://periodicityjournal.blogspot.com/2023/05/moira-walsh-and-shantell-powell-digital.html?m=1 @indigenousauthors #WritingCommunity #WritingResources #WritingRetreat #WritingResidency #CanLit #CanadianWriters #CanadianLiterature #OnlineResidency #Writing

GORGEOUSLY FUNNY-SAD TALE of negotiating divorce, heartbreak, and dating at 28 in the bookish-ish social circles of Toronto. Brilliantly observant about how smart women can get very firmly in their own way. A MINUS
