On the EVENT Blog— The Shadow Element: Rob Taylo On the EVENT Blog— The Shadow Element: Rob Taylor Interviews Terry Ann Carter. “I feel that there has never been a better time to teach these valuable lessons of haiku than right now, in these uncertain COVID-19 days. Young people are spending more time in nature. They are reflecting on inner thoughts. They are appreciating the small gifts of beauty all around them. What a great time to set that all down in this concise poetic form. This is magic of the senses.”

On the EVENT Blog— The Working Writer: Hannah Ma On the EVENT Blog— The Working Writer: Hannah Macready Interviews Journey Prize Longlisted Author Fawn Parker. “I think the main thing I’ve learned from working behind the scenes is that no one is ever going to be as precious about your work as you are... I try to do two things consistently: I take every opportunity that comes to me... and more importantly... I try to write all the time and write better each time.” Read the full interview at eventmagazine.ca

Repost from @ingrid.skare- For the poem "A Home", Repost from @ingrid.skare- For the poem "A Home", by Mia Fielding.⁠ ⁠ At the beginning of the year, I once again collaborated with the Canadian magazine Event (@eventmags), for their 49/1 issue, creating images to go with the poems and short stories of the publication.⁠ ⁠ All the illustrations were done traditionally with dip pen and ink, and for the final image, I sometimes added a digital layer of grey to create some depth. I tried my best to capture some aspect of the piece which could create interest or curiosity. ⁠ ⁠ Thanks again Event for the lovely collaboration!⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠Illo first appeared in @eventmags 49/1.⁠ (01/10)⁠ ⁠
