Alannah Radburn Poetry

Last year I entered the poetry prize; and to my utter delight two of my poems were selected to be published in this beautiful collection. It just recently hit the shelves, and is filled with the works of many talented writers. I’m so grateful to be a part of it, and thankful to central avenue publishing for consistently housing progressive and resistance heavy art 🫶📖

The horror is real, yet hope has many hands🫂

This Saturday October 18th I have the exciting opportunity of being a vendor at the Faelight immersive market 🧜‍♀️🏰🗡️🐉🕯️ I’ll be selling my whimsical poetry books, 4 original fantasy short stories, stickers and notebooks. There will be many other incredible vendors, magical immersive experiences, quests to be conquered, larp music to be danced to (don’t drink the faerie wine), and much tomfoolery to be had 🪉Find me at the nautical sirens-from-the-depths booth 🔱🐚📚

Found a lovely little café-bookshop in Halifax for a pot of tea, postcard writing and book browsing. Very reminiscent of my favourite shop back in Ottawa, but with a nautical twist 🧜‍♀️🌊🪸

Considering this foundational reading before the faerie themed writing contest starting in June 🧚✨
I have read a lot of fantasy this year and nothing has absolutely enchanted me like this series. A witty protagonist who is actually in her 30’s, absolutely charming prose, so much folly and frolicking with a little bit of darkness underneath, these books are so unique and have utterly consumed me. A world of liminal spaces, doors within the earth, shapeshifting reality, trickery in language, unbelievable magic, forest core vibes; is brilliant. I will be forevermore recommending this series and will be envious of every person who gets to experience Emily’s world for the first time. 🌲🧝‍♀️🧌🧚‍♂️🌸

Went for a long walk along Lake Ontario and all I found was this rugged wisdom existing outside the realm of time… 🌲🪨🌊💀🕯️
