  • 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.

Rainbow Warrior is Baker’s passionate personal chronicle, from a repressive childhood in 1950s Kansas, to a harrowing stint in the US Army, and finally his arrival in San Francisco, where he bloomed as both a visual artist and social justice activist.

  • News from the Feminist Caucus, by Anne Burke
    News from the Feminist Caucus, by Anne Burke This month, three reviews of poetry books by League members, news from Sonja Greckol, Sue McMaster, Andrea Beverly, and Penn Kemp, non-fiction books of interest to women. The 2019 Caucus Panel pertains to Women and Others: re the Vote. Hi Anne and all FC friends -- When we established the Living Archives series, we invited readers to join a "Matron/Patrons" list. I suggest we update that in coming chapbooks, and also in reprints where possible, to read "Sponsors" or "Friends", so we are as inclusive as possible. Could we have an on-line "show of hands" for this? Hi Anne -- I just sent it to you, as FC chair, assuming you'd send it out in the best manner to suit the Caucus? Glad you like the idea. Sue -- Susan McMaster web.ncf.ca/smcmaster soundcloud.com/susanmcmasterpoet Dr. Andrea Beverley Canadian Studies & English Mount Allison University, Sackville, New Brunswick To: A. Burke Jul. 18 at 10:40 a.m. Dear Anne, Yesterday afternoon I had a Skype meeting with Susan Brown and Mihaela Illovan, two of the core leaders at CWRC. We discussed next steps for the digitization of the Living Archives series. They are thrilled that the Feminist Caucus wants to proceed with the project! As a first step, CWRC will provide a simple summary of the copyright/licensing information regarding potential open access to the Living Archives. We hope that such succinct and hopefully convincing information will be useful to communicate to the Feminist Caucus membership, particularly those who have contributed to the series.
