Next

My “Now and Next” list (at right) is all now and no next–I’ve gotten behind! Lest you think January has defeated me (it hasn’t, much), here’s what’s upcoming:

Starting in February–I’ll be participating in the very very cool Now Hear This/SWAT program through the Descant Foundation of Arts and Letters. SWAT=Students, Writers and Teachers, and what this means is I’ll be teaching high school creative writing classes one day a week for a couple months, in conjunction with an actual professional English teacher. This is a thrilling opportunity for me to learn about teaching and about teenagers, as well as (I hope) offer something useful about writing practice in return. I can’t *wait*.

Sunday February 15, 4:35-5:45pm–I’ll be speaking on a panel entitled “Wandering Jews?” at the Limmud day of Jewish learning at UofT. My fellow panelists are Adam Sol and Sidura Ludwig.

Sunday April 5, Time TBD–I’ll be reading at the Gritlit literary festival in Hamilton.

Sometime in 2009–My two stories, “ContEd” and “Tech Support” will appear in The Fiddlehead.

Of course more to come eventually–there’s always something!
