My Bindi, Literature for life, The Literary Press Group, The Canadian Library Association, and many others helped us to spread the word about National Poetry Month. 2013 marked the fifteenth year of National Poetry Month in Canada, and has been one of our most successful celebrations yet! Throughout April, poets were out in libraries, schools, pubs, community centres and on the street celebrating poetry. There were a huge number of poetry readings and spoken word events; workshops were given in many different cities to teach new poets how to get started; and there has been a huge number of amazing online poetry projects that have been started up. Each year, the Mayor’s Poetry City Challenge is extended to cities across the country. This year, the challenge was enthusiastically taken on by city councils in Victoria BC, Nanaimo BC, Vancouver BC, Whistler BC, New Westminster BC, Nelson, BC, Jasper AB, Grand Prairie AB, Edmonton AB, Calgary AB, Lloydminster AB/SK, North Battleford SK, Saskatoon SK, Creighton SK, Moose Jaw SK, Regina SK, Bruce Rice; Yorkton SK, Dauphin MB, Winnipeg MB, London ON, Brantford ON, Norfolk County ON, Cobourg ON, Guelph ON, Toronto ON, Fredericton NB, Caraquet NB, Sackville NB, Halifax NS, New Glasgow NS, Charlottetown PE and St. John’s NF. We can't wait for next year!

We honour poets, poetry, and publishers, with the long list here. This month, our annual report, updates on our 2013 panel and launch of Poetry and the Disordered Mind; news from Canadian Women in the Literary Arts (CWILA); Women and Words, Summer Writing Week, with Jenna Butler, Jannie Edwards, and Sherri D Wilson; and When Worlds Collide is actively seeking poets! For full report: http://poets.ca/wordpress/programs‐2/feminist‐ caucus Looking for Tech‐Savvy Person Hi Everyone, I'm looking for a tech‐savvy person with a smart phone and computer screen, so that during the Panel on Electronic Poetry at the AGM we can connect with Rebecca Banks who I believe lives in Ottawa, with enough volume to pipe her voice in on a computer to join us during the panel and so we can hear her and she us, and be a cyberhead on the computer at our end. I am guessing she needs the same set up at her end. But right now, I need someone who knows how to do this. I don't have a smart 2 phone, hence my request. If anyone can do this, please get in touch with me directly. Thanks. DC Reid: [email protected] / 1‐250‐592‐1700 How Bill C‐11, the Copyright Modernization Act, affects the writer By Kelly‐Anne Riess. Access Copyright payments to creators will likely be reduced after last November’s enactment of the Copyright Modernization Act. Bill C‐11 extended the list of fair dealing exceptions to “educational purposes.” This means that • Anyone claiming an education purpose could arguably copy substantial parts of copyright‐ protected literary works without permission or payment. • Educational institutions and ministries will argue they do not have to pay Access Copyright for collective licenses to enable teachers and students to legally copy materials. • If Access Copyright is not paid for licenses, then its annual payments to creator and publisher affiliates will be much lower. Access advises that 80 per cent of its revenues come from ministries of education and educational institutions. Further, Access Copyright predicts it will need to vigorously litigate the fairness of the taking of copyright works under the educational purposes exception. Since “educational purposes” is conceivably much broader than the existing “private study” exception, multiple copies for classroom use may be argued to be fair. Therefore, writers and publishers alike could lose significant income. ACCESS COPYRIGHT MADE EASY—SIX THINGS ALL WRITERS SHOULD KNOW 1. Access Copyright distributes two types of royalties: Title specific and non‐title specific. 2. Title‐specific royalties are paid out using data collected from organizations that have Access Copyright licences. Title‐specific royalties related to trade books are shared equally between authors and publishers even if your publisher contract says something different. In the case of textbooks and academic journals, 100 per cent can go to the publisher only if the creator has assigned copyright to the publisher and the publisher has notified Access Copyright. Otherwise Access Copyright will pay the writer 50 per cent. On title‐specific works, freelance journalists who write for magazines and newspapers receive 100 per cent of all royalties. Staff writers of magazines and newspapers receive zero per cent. (www.accesscopyright.ca/creators/how‐we‐ split‐royalties‐between‐creators‐and‐publishers/) 3. Fifty per cent of all the non‐title specific royalties are paid out annually through Payback to writers and visual artists. Additionally, since 2010, Payback has been topped up with a 15% allocation from all available royalties before these other royalties are distributed. 4. If your work is out of print, let Access Copyright know, and 100 per cent of title‐specific payments will then go to you.

  • Scandinavian Loanwords in English in the 15Th Century
    Studia Anglica Posnaniensia 55s2 (2020): 253–271 doi: 10.2478/stap-2020-0012 TRADITION AND THE INDIVIDUAL CANADIAN TALENT NICK MOUNT1 ABSTRACT In the twenty-first century, Canadian writers have been doing something they did infrequently in the past: acknowledging and referencing the work of past Canadian writers. Although declining pedagogical and academic interest in Canadian literature has made this development hard to see, writers themselves have been quietly building upon and contributing to something that looks very much like a literary tradition. Canadian writers of course continue to read and be influenced by writers outside Canada, just as they always have: but in their own words, they are now telling us that they are reading, learning from, and responding to other Canadian writers – that there is a Canadian literary tradition that crosses generational and regional borders, and that Canadian writers (and publishers, and readers) are aware of parts of that tradition, the parts that matter to them. Keywords: Canadian Literature; tradition; canons; influence; epigraphs; blurbs. In his thoughtful review of my recent book, Alex Good ends with a question and an answer: Is the CanLit canon, as Mount concludes, a “now recognizable body of writing for critics to describe, students to read, the public to celebrate, and writers to steal from or define themselves against?” That’s the way it’s supposed to work, but it’s not easy to make the case. Frankly, one has to look hard to find the influence of CanLit, at least in terms of books being written as creative response or reactions to any of its canonical works.
