Mardi Livre!

Today was really exciting because I received my first letter in The PenPal Project from Bronwyn. Post! I got a bunch of bookmarks from the London Library as well as London Library scrap paper (which is cut into bigger pieces than the scrap paper at my library). I will have to brainstorm a steller text-based treat to include in her next letter, and mail it all within the ten day window of course. Sugoi indeed.

Now reading On Writing by Stephen King, which is excellent and fun. I also read Servants of the Map by Andrea Barrett, and it was beautiful.

The Guardian is seeking the best of CanLit. I’ve responded, and so has Heather Mallick, so join the fun! An lovely essay here on a former Canadian expat’s homecoming. The new Guardian Poetry Workshop here.
