Another great poetry reading at @glitterbeancafe. Thanks to Janet for being our MC. About a dozen folks read their poems today, including 3 people reading for the first time. Thanks to all who came out! #poetry
Join us for an open mic poetry reading on Saturday, June 24, 2pm, at @glitterbeancafe.
Just printed copies of the June OHF issue today-green to match the spring/summer growth. They're at @magsstore , @BookmarkHalifax, @glitterbeancafe, and King's College Library. Library copies coming soon. Also-mark your calendars for a June 24 open mic (2pm) at the Glitter Bean!
The June issue now online - thanks Alison! Celebrate Spring, Evenings in Halifax, a Birthday, and more. Not in the mood to celebrate? Feeling behind the 8-ball? We've got that covered too. ohforgery.com/2023/06/11/jun…

Lovely spring weather in Halifax today! 🌼 Just dropped off new OHF copies to Bookmark, Atlantic News, the Glitter Bean, and King's College Library.
Just updated with "Why I Wrote this Poem" submissions, and author bios for some of our new contributors.
The April issue of Open Heart Forgery is now available - thanks Alison! And while this post is not a joke, some of the poems are not without humour. ohforgery.com/2023/03/31/apr…

On the pharmacy’s floor is a faded sticker which reads: “stay safe—six feet apart” seeing that I am looking at it an employee tells me that they tried to get rid of it but it’s really stuck so they’ve decided to live with it and I can’t tell if he means the sticker or the virus.

How to become a literary writer: find your people, make friends, call yourself a writer, too. Try to make money, try to be happy, Try. It's what Taco Bell would want.

I used to worry that if I did not maintain an adequate supply that I might run out of masks only to find all the sellers completely sold out but these days I find that there’s no longer a shortage of quality masks which makes me worry that I must be the only one still buying them
