Doing the heart work: My time with Memorial’s Office of Public Engagement – The Independent
One day in April, 2019, I found myself in a glassy office building on the west end of Sherbrooke Street in Montreal. I was being interviewed for a prestigious doctoral scholarship; I’d come in on the early flight from St. John’s and I was travel-weary, disoriented, and stressed.

Will Reviving the Cod Industry Doom It Yet Again?
In an art gallery window on Harvey Road in St. John’s, a matted print is positioned at eye level. In the image, brightly painted wooden boats crowd a small, snug harbour, their cheerful colours reflecting wavily in the blue water. Inside the vessels are coils of rope, piles of net. To the left, striated cliffs jut toward the boats as though about to scoop them into a grass-topped embrace. A small card, with text in calligraphic script, is propped against the window.

Stone in the road
About a year ago, Memorial University hosted at knowledge-sharing event titled, Two-Eared Listening for Deeper Understanding. For Chief Mi’sel Joe of the Miawpukek First Nation, the three-day gathering was “a paving stone for the roadmap ahead . . .
Public consultations
One of Dr. Delores V. Mullings’ goals is to help make Memorial University become an EDI-AR “giant.” The university is in its infancy for EDI-AR, says Memorial’s vice-provost, equity, diversity, inclusion and anti-racism. She sees it as a great opportunity for the university to both learn from more established institutions and be a leader charting new territories for others to embrace.

You yourself are never an ending, / never collapse like the pinsetters’ set-up / or vanish like the smudged pencil
Let's leave the gaslighting for movie villains and keep it out of the House of Assembly
When Liberal MHA and former finance minister Cathy Bennett says she experienced "mild gaslighting" as part of a culture of bullying within cabinet, I believe her.
Walrus Poetry Prize Judge Jordan Abel Shares What He’s Looking For This Year · The Walrus
Jordan Abel is a Nisga’a writer whose work pushes at what is possible in poetry. Drawing from a multitude of genres, such as ethnography, photography, historic fiction, pulp novels, Abel assembles critical poetic collages that confront the enduring legacies of colonialism. In his first book of poetry The Place of Scraps, Abel carved away at the ethnographic writings of Marius Barbeau and established his own voice—a resistant, transformative lyric skillfully forged out of settler colonial texts.
Pathways to Pleasure
What a story is “about” doesn’t really matter. What matters is how that story is performed Author Margaret Laurence at her home in Lakefield, Ontario on April 11, 1974. Erik Christensen / The Globe and Mail After living in England for a decade, Margaret Laurence returned to Canada in 1970 as the author of The Stone Angel, A Jest of God, The Fire-Dwellers, and A Bird in the House. Her presence and her work created wild enthusiasm and she became almost instantaneously the poster-woman of CanLit.

Amy Lowell chain-smoked cigars. For Vancouver poet Jordan Abel, it all rests on control-F. Injun—one of three Canadian books vying for this year’s Griffin Poetry Prize, with the winner announced June 8—is built from a single Word document containing ninety-one public domain Western novels published between 1840 and 1950.
Food Nerd: Turkey Roastery
As we were eating dinner the other evening, my husband, Mark, asked me, “If you were to tell people how to make one essential thing, what would it be?” If Mark could have one meal, and only one, day in and day out until he breathed his last breath, it would be turkey dinner. Followed in close second by hot turkey sandwiches. He lives in fear that one of our children might grow up to be a raw-foods vegan, and I can’t say what might happen if such a tragedy should occur.
Motherhood Consumes the Poet
Before my first daughter was born, I swore to live by a new rule: never write about the baby. To me, there could be nothing so distasteful as the woman poet gone domestic, nothing so cliché. I was young, straight out of McGill, unexpectedly pregnant during what was meant to be a year off before grad school.
