I am having THE BEST time leading a writing workshop at Parkdale Library.We’re exploring Parkdale, and the city through words and holy smokes is it inspiring. Every Wednesday evening I get to hang out with such engaged, wonderful people and write and write and write about the places we live.
This week, we created written maps of the city and it got me thinking about other mapping projects like:
- The Toronto poetry map (Man, I love this project!): With the help of Toronto’s fourth poet laureate George Elliott Clarke, the Toronto Public Library created a new way to explore the city through poetry.
- Shawn Micallef’s book Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto
- The Urban Geographer, Daniel Rotsztain’s, projects including All the Libraries and All the Historic Sites
One of the writers in the group has a blog and posted her still-blowing-my-mind story about a dog, well, many dogs… (You can read it here!)
