Tenderness YEG

“Even though I didn’t receive it. I recognize that I deserve safety and tenderness” #tendernessyeg #yegarts #yeg

Beautiful things take time. Give yourself time. #tendernessyeg #yegarts #yeg

First, a digital archive. Next, a cathedral of tenderness for us to touch and see and feel and know that we survived and how beautiful we were.

Edmonton, share your stories with me @tendernessyeg. I want to know what has kept you whole, what has inspired you, what has brought you laughter through the tears.

My desire as the Poet Laureate of the @CityofEdmonton is to hold all of our stories as sacred and find the intersection of poetry and life. Our city, our province, our world is raging and for many of us this reckoning extends beyond the confines of this past year, this pandemic.
