Ive actually been wanting to edit an anthology of twenty-four Canadian poets for a non-Canadian publisher for years, but haven't yet managed to convince a publisher. When soliciting for this small section of New Canadian Writing, I attempted a cross-section of some of the writers Ive been keeping my eye on, the ones from various corners of the country that excite me. They range from the well-established to the other end of emerging; they range from the experimental to the more lyric narrative. The differences between our two countries are small, stark, obvious, nebulous and often impossible to articulate. There is no single difference. We look and sound like you, but after a while, subtle difference come up, that you hadnt quite noticed before. There have certainly been improvements over the past decade, but on the whole, writing doesnt cross the Canadian/American border easily, and most international publishers that produce poetry works dont often publish the works of Canadians, leaving us aware of works by American, British and other international writers, but predominantly as a one-way system. Online journals such as Jacket magazine, Jacket2 and Lemonhound have certainly worked to improve the conversations between countries, as well as the Canadian poets now with author pages on the American Electronic Poetry Center website, but there is always room for improvement. I hope that this small engagement might provide some further interest in what some truly amazing Canadian poets have been up to, lately. Thanks so much to Paul Hoover and Maxine Chernoff for allowing me this space in their journal. http://www.newamericanwriting.com/ http://www.robmclennan.blogspot.ca/2013/07/new-american-writing-canadian-section.html -- writer/editor/publisher ; ottawater, above/ground press + Chaudiere Books (www.chaudierebooks.com) ; coord., SPAN-O + ottawa small press fair poetry - Songs for little sleep, (obvious epiphanies press) ; 2nd novel - missing persons ; abovegroundpress.blogspot.com ; robmclennan.blogspot.com ================================== The Poetics List is moderated & does not accept all posts.

I hear nothing from the bats but what the machine tells me. They are sending their best wishes, reminding me to breathe. Richard Froude, Fabric In 1842, Augustin-Norbert Morin walked into the woods. There were only woods. The forest houses one kind of logic. There is more than one. You called out names under your breath. You stepped out into fleshy rain. The constellations were in error. We read the sounds of birds. The skyline, black against the night blue. The first few pages of the weather wrote a thunderstorm. The eaves were full of leaves. Rain water overflowed the porch. We chomped out portions of late summer, reckless portions of Aurora Borealis. A thread pulls powder across various landmarks. We walk into the Metro. This is not a pilgrimage. The English language corresponds with optical illusions. One looks too close sometimes, and words begin to shimmer, flick. A chance occurance, breathes. There were only woods, north-rolling mountain range a snake across the continent. My mouth full of leaves. The bed was rich of metal, sleep. I walked into your shoulder. published in Ottawa by above/ground press July 2013 a/g subscribers receive a complimentary copy Christine McNair's work has appeared in sundry places.

Fo= r Prose =E2=80=90 Mr Ruskin =E2=80=90 Sir Thomas Browne =E2=80=90 and the Revelations.=E2=80=9D =E2=80=94Letter to T. W. Higginson, 25 April 1862 Why should we care what Emily Dickinson really read or about her relationship to reading, books, and authors? In Thomas Wentworth Higginson=E2=80=99s Atlantic article for =E2= =80=9Cyoung contributors=E2=80=9D=E2=80=94the article that prompted Dickinson=E2=80=99s account of her reading, oft=E2=80=90cited, and= her subsequent correspondence with Higginson=E2=80=94he noted: =E2=80=9CFor purposes of illustration and eluci= dation, and even for amplitude of vocabulary, wealth of accumulated materials is essential; and whether this wealth be won by reading or by experience makes no great difference.=E2=80=9D For Dickinson, separated = by location, situation, and temperament from the =E2=80=9Cwealth of=E2=80=A6 experience=E2=80=9D that p= resumably characterized the lives of many professional writers, this counsel must have seemed pure balm. If she could write from the =E2=80=9Cwealth=E2=80=A6 won by reading,=E2=80=9D then, as a dedicated reader, she would be on firm ground. Emily Dickinson=E2=80=99s reading provided a vital foundation for her writing. Dickinson=E2=80=99s reading is also significant on its own merits, however,= as a practice that connected her directly and powerfully to a community of readers on both sides of the Atlantic. Dickinson=E2=80=99s reading has been on the critical agenda since 1966, when Jack Capps published Emily Dickinson=E2=80=99s Reading, 1836=E2=80=90 1886; it was next taken up by Carlton Lowenberg in Emily Dickinson=E2=80=99= s Textbooks (1986). Both Capps and Lowenberg were engaged bibliographers, documenting the worlds of books that Dickinson inhabited at home and at school. But as the idea of Dickinson=E2=80=99s circle has evolv= ed, so has the idea of her reading culture. The recognition of reading=E2=80=99s role in Dickinson=E2=80=99s w= riting has led to an explosion of critical interest in this topic, as exemplified by the special issue on reading in the Emily Dickinson Journal (2010). As scholarship on nineteenth=E2=80=90century reading practices, libraries, and book history has grown, a reconsideration of Dickinson as a reading writer and a reader is timely. Volume Three of the Dickinson Electronic Archives 2 will focus on Emily Dickinson=E2=80=99s reading culture. We invite proposals for works that examine topics such as: the circulation of works in manuscript and other informal patterns of reading and reception; the origins, development, and use of the Dickinson family libraries; reading in Amherst town and at Amherst College; trans=E2=80=90Atlantic publishers=E2=80=99 adaptations to a changing marke= tplace; intersections between women writers and readers; periodicals and subscribers in the mid=E2=80=90 to late nineteenth century= ; the response to particular books or periodicals among members of Dickinson=E2=80=99s circle. Contributions may take the form of essays, bibliographies, timelines, games, posters, or other genres, but should contain visual elements. Visual elements, in addition to appearing within their native contributions, will be assembled into a collective exhibition at the core of the volume. About the DEA 2: The *Dickinson Electronic Archives 2* is a scholarly resource showcasing the possibility of interdisciplinary and collaborative research and exploring the potential of the digital environment to reveal new interpretive material, cultural, historical, and theoretical contexts. In doing so, the DEA2 opens a space of knowledge exchange for a networked world of scholars, students, and readers by offering a series of exhibitions on subjects of keen interest to readers of Emily Dickinson. Each exhibition will offer spaces for commentary that are of different sorts. At present the *DEA2* offers a *discussion forum*, a space like that patrons inhabit as they walk through and talk about an exhibition, a space like that moviegoers inhabit when they stop for a nightcap or late night snack and discuss the movie just viewed. The *DEA2* also offers *Essays and Other Writings * for every exhibition we offer. The deadline for proposals is September 15, 2013. Please send proposals of 500=E2=80=901000 words, with = your contact information, by email attachment to the volume editor. Contributors whose proposals are accepted will be notified by November 1, 2013. Final contributions will be due March 31, 2014. The volume will be released in July 2014.

I would highly recommend you wander through the site to see the pieces posted there. Inspired by those pieces, I decided to curate an occasional series of the same over at the ottawa poetry newsletter (http://ottawapoetry.blogspot.ca/), and have since posted five short essays by Ottawa writers on the nebulous subject of "On writing," with a new essay scheduled to appear every week or so. Given the nature of the ottawa poetry newsletter, I've been focusing on poets who are either current or former residents of the City of Ottawa, but am open to considering further pieces. Over the next couple of weeks, watch for new essays in the series by Faizel Deen, Pearl Pirie and Colin Morton. Here are links to the first five, already posted: On Writing #5 : Who knew?
