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.
