Poetry Infused with Nova Scotian places

Image
 My published poetry collections tend to feature a lot of Nova Scotian elements, especially pertaining to the tides in the Annapolis Valley. The watery landscape is a part of my life that is constantly surrounding me, and a strong element in many of my poems from both my collections, Spoken Waves and Patches of Sunlight .  (left) photo of me standing on the South Mountain taking a photo of the view of the Minas Basin and North Mountain.  First, I will go through the poem titles in Spoken Waves that relate to beaches or areas in Nova Scotia. "Baxter's Harbour", pg. 3 "Chance" pg.12  "Blomidon" pg.14 "Heustis Beach" pg.18 "Nova Scotian March" pg.24 "Satin Seaside" pg 51 "Silent Exchange" pg.71 For some of these poems, they still evoke such a strong sense of place, like I am immersed in wherever the setting of the poem was again, I can feel it so strongly, which is why I wrote the poems in the first place, to evo...

Fashion Hobby and Characters

Image
Art is something anyone can do without any expectations to be good at it, so while I share a few older pieces I created on paper and sewing, I hope you feel inspired to create as well. I use a template model for these drawings, and sketch it onto paper by putting the printed copy underneath, then I cut the designs to the shape I want and glue them in place on the paper model outline. This way I reuse the same templates multiple times. Below are some examples where I used calendar pages, scraps of mesh fabric, magazine cut outs and even hole punches to create funky fashion designs. As a kid, I loved playing with dolls and doing arts and crafts and sewing, so the combination of these activities led me to design dresses and cloaks for my dolls. I wanted to get them out of the bizarre 80s clothes (hand me downs, as I was not born then), and into something that reflected the more fantasy realm I created for them in my stories and imagination.  Here are some of the many designs I sewed a...

Outside Activities

Image
There are plenty of outdoor activities you can do as we approach spring and summer. Some of my favourites growing up and even now are: Kayaking:  You may already have access to a kayak or be able to rent them out from your local watersports and equipment places, so have a look around, because often there are more activities available at low cost without needing to own the equipment for your occasional use. If you are really committed, you can always stretch the budget to purchase something later after you have tested it out.  (photo of me kayaking, photographed by my mother) Biking: All you need is a bike and helmet. Many communities have bike rentals or lender bikes you can use, or you could use a stationary bike inside your home or at the gym for leg day. I prefer to feel the wind on my face in the fresh outdoors, however, in the winter, I used our stationary bike we had at the time while doing long readings for University courses. It was great to be able to exercise and lis...
