It's been so good working with Anansi and CBC on the Massey Lectures. As nice as the cover is, I hope you spend more time on the inside.

cbc.ca/radio/ideas/ma… Here's an interview I did with @NahlahAyed during the Massey tour. You can play it in the background while you "work." Nahlah takes conversations to interesting places better than anyone!

Here's the vibe on stage for the first CBC Massey Lecture in Sydney, NS. It'll be part lecture, part theatre. We have local talent from CBC Cape Breton reading parts. We're not gonna have your average lecture for these Massey's.

The Cabot Trail Writers Festival in Cape Breton runs from Oct 4 to Oct 6. I can't find it on X and I'm not participating in the festival but doesn't it look like something that's been too well kept a secret? cabottrailwritersfestival.com

I think we Canadians are in the rare and wonderful position of having a national literature predominantly shaped by women. I'm thinking of Alice Munro, of course, the initiative of the @ShieldsPrize for women, and Canadian Shakespeare herself @MargaretAtwood.
