Writing Spaces: Michelle Kaeser

By Michelle Kaeser

Today we’re sharing Michelle Kaeser’s Writing Space with you! Michelle is the author of “This is a Love Story,” which can be found in Issue 144!

This is my writing space. It’s never properly tidy. There’s always a bunch of crap on the desk, notably that pile of half-finished crossword puzzles in the corner (I actually prefer the number puzzles—the KENKEN in particular, which never goes unfinished). I like my terrestrial and satellite radios (seen on the bookshelves), because they make long days spent alone at this desk more bearable. I like this large swivel chair, because it makes me feel like a CEO. Most important to me is that this desk faces a wall. Walls are less distracting than windows. Windows make writing impossible.

 

 

We’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look into the writing process – straight from the desks of our contributors! Check out the full series here.

Writing Spaces: Michelle Syba

Territorial Acknowledgement

The New Quarterly is based in Waterloo, Ontario, on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabeg, and Neutral Peoples. We acknowledge that this land is part of the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations of the Grand River as part of the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784.

As a literary magazine devoted to storytelling, we recognize that stories have long been a way of knowing, preserving, and sharing in Indigenous cultures. We honour the generations of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples who have cared for these lands and continue to do so. We commit to listening, learning, and amplifying Indigenous voices, and to supporting pathways for truth and reconciliation through the stories we publish.
