Carolyn Bennett Writer/Comic

  Friday , September 11, 2026  Looking forward to my conversation with author, poet, musician and multimedia artist Gary Barwin. We'll be discussing his latest book The Comedian's Book of the Dead.    ​ Audience Q&A.

  Good day. Please be advised that as of September 5, 2026,  I will be back using blogspot.  Please see my website www.carolynbennettwritercomic.com for more information on why I have decided to discontinue Squarespace. Thank you. As you were.

Season's Greetings from the person, place and thing know as CBennettworld. All my imaginary employees wish you and your family peace, prosperity and good health in 2021 and beyond. Everyone, from the assembly line workers who package those last minute items you ordered online to the management team that oppresses them, wish you and your loved and tolerable ones joy this holiday season. And what a holiday season it is! No attempts at conversation with more successful peers at festive unions gatherings, no choking down freezer burned hor d'oeuvres at recovery meetings, no guilt about not shopping for gifts online or at the mall   -- this truly is a season of blessings for the introvert, the indifferent, or the selfish. Of course, a monolith like CBennettworld must make a display of charitable endeavours. To that end, we have delivered a wagon full of remaindered goods to a local homeless shelter, including Hai Karate (dealcoholized), Easy-Bake Ovens, and Carolyn Bennett'...

  Greetings this day in November 2020. I am happy, if not shocked, to report that I have received a Toronto Arts Council grant to support a new writing project. Please keep an eye out for short stories penned by me and collected under the title Going in a Different Direction, publication date TBA. And if you are available Monday, November 23 at 1PM, please join me as I participate in the panel discussion Isolation, Disruption, and the Healing Benefit of the Arts . The discussion is part of the annual conference of the Canadian Senior Artists’ Resource Network (CSARN). Registration is free. https://www.csarn.ca/conference/ Stay well, cats.  

I  miss Stage 1 It was good fun hanging in my jammies having little nappies in the afternoon it went so soon Grocery clerks were heroes celebrities were zeros you couldn’t see me I had on homemade PPE I miss Stage 1 I miss Stage 1 it was good fun Unless you had Covid-19 Devastation not foreseen Except by those in the know Sounding the alarm Of the virus’ great harm Rest of us ate treats like fudge Now we have pandemic pudge But at least we’re still breathing our babies now be teething but we’re the lucky ones we haven’t died from guns we can login sip bespoke gin and be at work with no commute. our shrunken lives we must compute That’s why I Miss Stage 1 when everyone had fun hanging out in jammies having little nappies Nature said Time out you need to layabout Let me have some rest While I put you to the test stay still or I will kill You.
