It’s been challenging to get any poetry writing done these days so thank you to @officialqwf’s QWF Writes for the opportunity share my thoughts on being a homeschooling parent and a writer during this global pandemic. Please feel free to share and let me know how you are all doing with homeschooling and/or writing in this really strange time. Thanks for reading.

Many thanks to all who came out to the fundraiser to support the @officialqwf’s Writers in the Community program with the launch of the ‘My Island, My City’ chapbook on April 9, 2019. It was a lovely event and as a regular writer/facilitator for the WIC program, I’m so pleased that everyone came out to support this initiative that is so close to my heart. Kudos to organizer, Jan Jorgensen, for putting this shindig together! The poem of mine that is featured in the chapbook is from my manuscript-in-progress about Canadian modernist painter and Beaver Hall Group member, Anne Savage. . . . #gregsantos #quebecwritersfederation #writersinthecommunity #montreal #poetryreading #chapbook #poetsofinstagram #instagrampoetry #montrealwriters #poetsofmontreal #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #beaverhallgroup #annesavage (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwE-FHAg_Jq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17m2uvq4l2o9w
