Zoe T. Leroy Suggests you visit Words Travel Fast to see her poetry animated!

For this year's Nuit Blanche, my poems, along with poetry by Emily Pohl-Weary and Emily Schultz, were made into animated films by local graphic artists and shown on the TTC subway screens. The project was called Words Travel Fast and curated by Sharon Switzer , as part of Art for Commuters. I'm pretty excited that you can now see all of the films on the site.

Back from L.A.

I’m just back from speaking at the book fair in Los Angeles. I’ll talk about that in a moment. But I seem destined to have travel adventures. Not the kind where you explore exotic countries and discover new and breathtaking sights, but the kind where just getting to your destination is a challenge.

I was due to leave Toronto for L.A. on Thursday Dec. 4 at 6:30 p.m. I arrived the requisite two hours early at the airport, checked in on line, and discovered that my flight had been cancelled “due to mechanical problems!” Unbeknownst to me, I had been placed on a fight leaving early the next morning with a stop and connecting flight through Chicago.
