I'm a professional poet, creative writer and creative writing instructor. As of this summer 2021, I'm looking for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment or house, ideally with a separate office/study space in addition to 1 bedroom and living room, but I am flexible to many layout possibilities. I am interested in having quiet space to work and create, as well as some form of access to out of door space (preferably including some garden area, but even a balcony). Currently since August 2019 I am renting a two-bedroom condo in Toronto's Kensington Market, while working on grant-funded writing projects and teaching at Ryerson and with the MFA in CW at University of Guelph-Humber. During his times in Toronto, my university-going son stays with me. I have two other adult children who live in Toronto. I will be interested again in possibilities here for the end of summer 2021 onward. I would most like to be located in the area of Toronto I know best, Little Italy/ Little Portugal or surrounding areas (where I have lived for the better part of over 20 years) but I'm also open to considering all areas of the city for the right situation. ideally, I would like to find a situation that could continue into the long term.
