• Where the Wild Things Are

    "Canadian poetry has a long tradition of exploring and surviving the wilderness. Pratt, Service, Lee, Atwood – all have been interested, obsessed even, with a landscape both beautiful and terrifying. In fact, it's become cliché that our national poetry is infatuated with the wild and man's place in it. For this reason, Toronto-born Dani Couture is the much-needed urban update of our national literary obsession with a natural world."

    –Stacey May Fowles for Broken Pencil

Wishing Sundays Would Never End

The Olympics are on. Team Canada and Team U.S.A. are currently tied. 2-2. Second period. Let me know how it turns out, okay? I can’t look.

Sunday evening round-up:

  • Reading at the Prince Edward County Authors Festival in May. More details as they are confirmed. Looking forward to revisiting the Black River Cheese Factory and Books & Company.
  • Belated, but here is my pick for the Advent Book Blog (project by Books on the Radio and Book Madam): Joy is so exhausting by Susan Holbrook.
  • Reading at the Draft Reading Series in Toronto: 3:00 p.m., April 18, 2010, at The Merchants of Green Coffee, 2 Matida Street. And so is Michael Bryson. We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and The League of Canadian Poets for this National Poetry Month event.
  • The pub. date for Sweet is in May and the launch will be June. More soon!

Hockey update: It’s 3-2 in favour of Team U.S.A., or should that be “favor”?

And because I’m loving all things “sweet” lately, here’s one of my favourite songs:
