Please note: This blog has gone portable as I abandon the still thawing Canada for a whirlwind four month journey around Europe.

So much I never knew I needed [wanted] to read, but oh do I

Poetry Tuesday: Ode to Anne Carson

Anne Carson is a Canadian poet, professor, and translator, among her many identities. Her writing is spellbinding to me, and also intimidating - I think she is a genius, and have been collecting her various books of poetry, prose poetry, essays and other writings over the years. On this gloomy Tuesday, after an […]


Review: Bonding with Bitch Magazine

On a whim, I picked up the latest issue of bitch magazine (subtitle: feminist response to pop culture). This is not unusual, since I tend to have an addiction to buying magazines - a random financial trap of mine. The issue is entitled Singular + Plural (Fall 07 / Issue no. 37), […]
