  • BIOGRAPHY of EMILY HAMPER "The Extremely Difficult Piano Part
    BIOGRAPHY OF EMILY HAMPER "The extremely difficult piano part was perfectly realized by Emily Hamper, a very authoritative accompanist throughout the concert." (Concertonet, Paris, January 2014) Emily Hamper has earned an excellent reputation for her exceptional skills as a vocal coach and accompanist. Singers from her coaching studio perform with major opera companies and symphony orchestras around the world. Within an international career spanning twenty years, she has worked as a rehearsal pianist, coach, and assistant conductor for many prominent opera companies and organizations. Highly sought-after as a collaborator for voice recitals, she has recently appeared in performance for the Montreal Symphony Orchestra’s “Virée Classique”, L'Opéra National de Paris, and Music Toronto. In January 2017 she partners baritone Phillip Addis in recital at the Canadian Opera Company. Other performances include recitals for the Queensland Music Festival (Australia), Calgary Opera, Festival Orford, Stratford Summer Music, and many other venues in Canada, the USA, and Europe. In 2011 she was awarded the Best Collaborative ​ Pianist Prize at the Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition and accompanied thirteen ​ performances across Canada on the National Winner's Tour. Performances have been broadcast on CBC Radio, Radio-Canada, Classical 96.3 FM and Vermont Public Radio. Engaged as a répétiteur and official audition accompanist by Calgary Opera, l'Opéra de Montréal, Opera Atelier and Pacific Opera Victoria, Ms. Hamper was production director for a performance based on Manon at the Muskoka Opera Festival in 2013. Her genuine interest in ​ ​ new music has resulted in engagements with Soundstreams Canada and Tapestry Opera, the workshopping of a new opera with Manitoba Opera, and the commission of a cycle of four songs by composer Erik Ross and poet Zachariah Wells.

The Meagre Tarmac is master storywriter Clark Blaise’s first new collection of short fiction in nearly two decades.

  • The Social Meaning of Eh in Canadian English∗
    THE SOCIAL MEANING OF EH IN CANADIAN ENGLISH∗ Derek Denis University of Toronto 1. Introduction. The recent surge in sociolinguistic investigation of pragmatic markers such as general extenders (and stuff, and things like that), discourse and quotative like, and utterance final tags (right, you know) has been primarily fuelled by questions about grammaticalization and language change (D’Arcy 2005; Tagliamonte and D’Arcy 2007; Cheshire 2007; Tagliamonte and Denis 2010; Pichler and Levey 2011; Denis and Tagliamonte pear). Included in that set of pragmatic markers is eh, a very special variant (at least for Canadians). In this paper, I build on earlier work (Avis 1972; Johnson 1976; Gibson 1977; Gold 2005, 2008) and discuss the development of this very Canadian feature in terms of indexical order and indexi- cal change, along the lines of Silverstein’s seminal 2003 paper and Johnstone and Kiesling’s (Johnstone and Kiesling 2008; Johnstone 2009) work on Pittsburghese, which applies Silverstein’s framework. Although eh is well-known as the quintessential Canadian English stereo- type, there has been little research that discusses how exactly it came to hold this status. By tracking the points in time at which eh gained meanings at subse- quent orders of indexicality, a` la Silverstein (1993, 2003) and Johnstone (2009), I establish a timeline of the development of eh’s social meaning in Canada. My arguments draw on evidence based on the metadiscourse surrounding eh, perfor- mances of Canadian identity, real- and apparent-time data that tracks the usage of eh in Southern Ontario English over the last 130 years (Tagliamonte 2006; Denis 2012) and the commodification of eh.

The investigation charts and analyzes the demographics of 64 poets who were published in 1967, and 75 poets who were published in four small press literary magazines in 2010. The 2010 magazines were purposely sampled as representatives of specific geographical areas in Canada (i.e., the West Coast, the Prairies, Central Canada, and the East Coast). The results indicate that in 1967 female poets were less likely to be published; however, 43 years later, this bias has been rectified.

  • Annual Atwood Bibliography 2016
    Annual Atwood Bibliography 2016 Ashley Thomson and Shoshannah Ganz This year’s bibliography, like its predecessors, is comprehensive but not complete. References that we have uncovered —almost always theses and dissertations —that were not available even through interlibrary loan, have not been included. On the other hand, citations from past years that were missed in earlier bibliographies appear in this one so long as they are accessible. Those who would like to examine earlier bibliographies may now access them full-text, starting in 2007, in Laurentian University’s Institutional Repository in the Library and Archives section . The current bibliography has been embargoed until the next edition is available. Of course, members of the Society may access all available versions of the Bibliography on the Society’s website since all issues of the Margaret Atwood Studies Journal appear there. Users will also note a significant number of links to the full-text of items referenced here and all are active and have been tested on 1 August 2017. That said—and particularly in the case of Atwood’s commentary and opinion pieces —the bibliography also reproduces much (if not all) of what is available on-line, since what is accessible now may not be obtainable in the future. And as in the 2015 Bibliography, there has been a change in editing practice —instead of copying and pasting authors’ abstracts, we have modified some to ensure greater clarity. There are a number of people to thank, starting with Dunja M. Mohr, who sent a citation and an abstract, and with Desmond Maley, librarian at Laurentian University, who assisted in compiling and editing.
