Quest Letters is work in progress: please explore with me what's possible. As of October 2024, I'm based in Tkaronto (Toronto), keen on local and global considerations, and co-contributing internationally.

At neurological, sensory and political levels, mainstream social media isn't that accessible for me, and I've found overwhelming trying to communicate with broad networks of people through those platforms. I'll try with this site sharing notes on creative, professional and life pursuits, explore what I can offer of my own and others' work to engage with peers near and far, and signing up for periodic newsletters will be a primary way to be informed. Fostering community opportunities, and the support of connections with readers here motivate my going forward.
