  • Introduction
    Introduction Imagine you’re invited to a party. You arrive at the venue, slip past security, and Margaret Atwood is there; so are Michael Ondaatje, Anne Carson, and Dionne Brand. CanLit’s luminaries surround you, and having never brushed elbows with so many prominent writers, you turn paparazzi and start taking photographs in earnest. Point and click—easy to tell who monopolizes the spotlight and who falls back. It’s only once you focus manually, looking for an unconventional angle, that you begin to notice others: a younger, more anonymous crowd pushing at the margins, trying to bypass the guest list. So you raise your camera to include them too, at least those close enough to see clearly. Some of the shots will turn out perfectly—balanced composition, candid expressions that capture the palpable energy of the event. Some won’t. The blur of time will seep in, poor exposure rendering the photographs unusable. You might think I’m describing a Griffin Poetry Prize gala. I am, of course, but this is also the plight of prospective anthologists. Working without the benefit of hindsight, anthologists are responsible for scouting talent in little magazines, hard-to-find books, and critical periodicals. Canonization is a gamble, and time and time again Canadian editors have either gone all in or hedged their bets, offering up both generation defining compilations and remixed versions of established texts. With New Provinces, F.R. Scott curated 13 The Next Wave the first essential anthology of Canadian poetry in 1936. Providing a platform for future icons like E.J.

    “You’re gonna need a rock and a whole lotta medicine” Whitehead is a mantra that Jonny Appleseed, a young Two-Spirit/Indigiqueer and NDN glitter princess, Joshua Joshua repeats to himself in this vivid and utterly compelling debut novel by Joshua Whitehead. Off the rez and trying to find ways to live, love, and survive in the big city, Jonny has one week before he must return to his home—and his former life—to attend the funeral of his stepfather. The seven days that follow are like a fevered dream: stories of love, trauma, sex, kinship, ambition, and heartbreaking recollections of his beloved kokum (grandmother). Jonny’s life is a series of breakages, appendages, and linkages—and as he goes through the motions of preparing to return home, he learns how to put together the pieces of his life. JONNY APPLESEED HIGHLIGHTS Jonny Appleseed is a unique, shattering vision of Indigenous life, full of grit, glitter, and dreams. “Joshua Whitehead redefines what queer Indigenous writing can be in his powerful debut novel. Jonny Appleseed transcends genres of writing to blend the sacred and the sexual into a vital expression of Indigenous desire and love. Reading it is a coming home to bodies, stories, and experiences of queer Indigenous life that has never been so richly and honestly shown before. This book is an honour song to every queer NDN body who has ever lived and it will transform the universe with its beauty and magic.” FROM THE BACKLIST —Gwen Benaway, author of Passage “If we’re lucky, we’ll find one or two books in a lifetime that change the language of story, that manage to illuminate new curves in the flat vessels of old letters and words.

[00:00:33] Kendra Well, Happy Women's History Month, Jaclyn. [00:00:36] Jaclyn Yes, indeed. We're back again for another year celebrating it on the podcast. [00:00:42] Kendra Very excited. And you recently made the relocation back to Australia. And you already have an incredible number of Aussie books that you've shared on your Instagram, on all sorts of things. I've been loving it. [00:00:58] Jaclyn I have. It's been a very rough move, doing an international move during a pandemic, as I'm sure many people have experienced too. But yes, I'm very grateful that Australian publishers have been very kind, sending a lot of books our way to share on the podcast already. [00:01:17] Kendra So everyone definitely check out Jaclyn's Instagram and different things for more Australian lit book recommendations. Also, it is a new month, like we mentioned, so it's also a new Patreon podcast episode. And so this month, I am talking to Evelyn Bradley and Vanessa Bradley.

We’ve included the stories of women, the stories of Indigenous writers, Métis writers, writers of different experiences, cultural backgrounds, and orientations. Our individual and collective experience and understanding are sure to be enriched by these fresh perspectives, and new insights into the past.
