Happy birthday to the legendary Gwendolyn MacEwan! Another year wiser and another verse richer—in fact, your poems have aged better than fine Canadian maple syrup. Your signature works like *The Shadow-Maker* and *Afterworlds* remain as fresh today as when they first stole our hearts (and scooped up that fabulous Governor General’s Award in 1969). Clearly, literary genius doesn’t come with an expiration date!Whether charming us through whimsical children’s stories or spinning magical poetic worlds into being (*The Fire-Eaters*, anyone?), you've brilliantly made each page feel timelessly alive. Here's wishing a poet whose creativity knows no bounds—verses aplenty, ink pots overflowing, and cake slices big enough for endless imaginative adventures!
