The New Quarterly
Skip to content The New Quarterly By Tim Bowling Cherry Blossoms They were everywhere when I could be anywhere. The weather of the world of wonder. What else can be so beautiful before form? Heavier than snowflakes, gathering like sleep in the corners of window sills, fooling the sleeping spider in the wind. The rusted wheelbarrow filled with pirate coin. The windshield wipers wiping the perfume away all spring. The barnacles on the black gumboots on the porch when no one had been near the sea.
Literary Review of Canada
Walking may be the closest thing to the universal human activity, but every walker, like every footprint, is unique. Some people saunter and wander and ramble. Others plod along, blocking the path for those trying to power ahead. Many just proceed onward in their own sweet way, one foot pursuing the other, indifferent to the pedestrian fact that they are doing something worth pondering. Yes, we can over-think these things.

If you’d told me at the start of 2020 that within six months I’d be organizing a rally for universal basic income, I probably would have stared at you blankly. Or spit out my morning [...]
Bartelby, the Sessional
When the university he’d been poorly employed at for the past 12 years decided to eliminate three-year sessional teaching contracts, Jerris Johns started sleeping in the clothes he taught in. This behaviour was both practical and psychological; practical because his landlord would never heat the complex sufficiently at night, and psychological because the institution’s further attack on the Humanities made him feel as naked as Lear on the heath.
poetry | The Walrus
You yourself are never an ending, / never collapse like the pinsetters’ set-up / or vanish like the smudged pencil Read More You’d see them hauling speakers at a gig, / drinking Cokes and fondly reminiscing / about that night (the ketamine! The wig!) Read More I’ve had my green leaves and my bloom.
The Magazine for Engaged Citizens
I first skated in 1969 on a frozen slough at the mouth of the Fraser River, so far west of our nation’s capital that you could taste the brine of the Pacific on your tongue and hear Tokyo accents on the breeze. The ice had that 1950s black-and-white, grainy television look—the shadows under my blades were killer whales poised to break through and gnash an ice-floe-napping seal to shreds.
Rejoice that the voters rejected the centrist extremists who thought they knew better than the British people
As the clocks struck ten last Thursday and everyone wishing to ‘get Brexit done’ breathed a collective sigh of relief, the battle for the next general election had already begun.And those purporting to represent the centre ground of British politics were proven the real extremists in having attempted to overthrow democracy as demonstrated in 2016. Fortunately the British public were able to see through this retrograde group.
Boris Johnson is no Johnny-come-lately to the Brexit cause
Following the fallout from Brexit Party candidates standing down in Tory-held seats, some opponents of Boris Johnson continue to portray him as a “Johnny-come-lately” to the Brexit cause. Frequent news articles purport to claim Boris only came round to his belief in exiting the EU at the eleventh hour, specifically on 21st February 2016 when he announced his intention to campaign to Leave. It is high time this nonsense was quashed.

Nigel Farage has misjudged the mood of Brexiteers, which is why I've left the Brexit Party for the Tories
Nigel Farage has always been a hero when it comes to Brexit. Unquestionably, the EU referendum would not have happened without him. He is a man of the people who galvanised two parties to electoral success and helped deliver a referendum result few felt possible even on polling day. But we are at a point now where the great hero of Brexit has become the man who might, as Jacob Rees-Mogg says, ‘snatch defeat from the jaws of victory’.
