Want to develop your writing? Read beyond your comfort zone
CBC Books regularly publishes writing tips.
This writing tip is from Jessi MacEachern.
"Read, read widely and read continuously. When my own words fail me, the words of the poets I most admire (and even some I don't) convince me there is more to come and better to come. Writing and reading are inseparable acts!"
Jessi MacEachern is a PhD candidate in Études anglaises at the Université de Montréal. Her poetry has previously appeared in Vallum, Canthius, MuseMedusa, PRISM and CV2. Her poem A Number of Stunning Attacks made the 2018 CBC Poetry Prize longlist.
