Hello Friends,

For Issue 27, Send My Love to Anyone presents three excerpts of newly published books. In On Class Deborah Dundas explores poverty and her own story of growing up poor. Catherine Graham shares two poems from her new poetry book Put Flowers Around Us and Pretend We’re Dead: New and Selected Poems. And Concetta Principe reflects on the academy and mental health in her new lyric memoir Disciple n. v.

Send My Love to Anyone is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support this project, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

And in their SMLTA column, The First Time, Kirby writes about floundering.

For Issue 27 Gatherings (a roundup of recommendations), I recommend Fertile Festival, contributor launches, Hannah Black, Kevin Chong, Banff Winter Residency, Somebody Somewhere, and Being Mary Tyler Moore

Hope you enjoy this issue!

Kathryn

Seed breaks through, roots stalk their slow crawl into green networks towards the nourishing air, lengthen with sun’s …

FAILURE My failure does not start in the third year of my undergrad, first year at U of T, in my second year class on Chaucer. But I will start there since it’s relevant to my degree, my suffering (we all suffer), and the reason my application to the PhD program in English Literature at York University was rejected. It was a shock, rejection always is. I…

Floundering [Not Dead] | The First Time

“People have been tellin’ me the Toronto Lit Scene is dead.” About two dozen of us make it out to a poet’s book launch in the Junction. A good showing. For many in Toronto, this is viewed as a distance too far, when it’s actually a pretty direct route just off the subway line, s…
