Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Of loss. not lost opportunity,. No - my faith precludes that. Sort of thing. i never lose cuff-. Links, wallets, travel mugs, passports. Can't lose what i don't have anyway. I thought i lost a car once - my first porsche -. But i found i just lost the car. A couple of times i lost races but.

Berneval: December 2009
http://berneval.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Siri Agrell wrote a piece for the Globe and Mail which toured various cities around the world. It featured what human scale living could be like in an urban context. The piece is called "Rethinking public space - one day at a time". One of the featured cities is New York. Vancouver city councillor Andrea Reimer on similar experiments in the west coast city observes,. The activities in the piece remind me of the cities in the fictional universe created by Samuel Delany in such novels as Triton. Jacques Le...

The Literary Blog of Amanda Earl: 06/01/2014 - 07/01/2014
http://amandaearl.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
The Literary Blog of Amanda Earl. Literary sundries and whatnots. Wednesday, June 18, 2014. A Wander Through Liminality in Poetry. I pack a large bottle of water. My cell phone is charged. I am ready to step into the elevator. If I am trapped I will. Dial 911. If I am trapped I will sing. If I am trapped I will. Take deep breaths. I will try to breathe. First the sound. Of metal upon metal grinding. Will the cables snap. Will. The elevator car lose its grounding and shake us like rag dolls. Another blog ...

Every Heart Knows the Fall: On Directing
http://everyheartknows.blogspot.com/2010/04/on-directing.html
Monday, April 19, 2010. On Directing – Tegan and Sara ( listen in new tab. Her feet drive hard into the sidewalk and spring her away from the earth with each stride. She imagines herself making small craters in the concrete. She’s found her pace as her skin begins to glaze with sweat; her shirt and running shorts cling to her skin, damp with the early morning spring air. Today will be a long run. She’s training for the coming gauntlet of charity 10k races. Maybe a 20k later in the summer. Why see K now?

http://everyheartknows.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Underwater Heartbeat - Saturday Looks Good to Me( listen in new tab. You could pass it on the street if you weren’t looking for it. The neon sign above V. I. Lenin’s hasn’t been lit since the late 90’s, when the tubes’ noble gasses gave up their spirits, flickered and darkened. These days the silhouette of the bar’s namesake, traced abstractly in dead glass, keeps a dim vigil over the regulars and intrepid new comers. Inside the music is cranked up and loudly echoes down the...

Every Heart Knows the Fall: Fair Verona
http://everyheartknows.blogspot.com/2010/04/fair-verona.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Fair Verona – Dan Mangan ( listen in new tab. Monday morning and the neighbourhood library branch is a slow crawl. The usuals are less frequent now that the weather’s nice. Though, by summer the heat will bake the city and drive them back. Outside the glass doors, Toronto grinds forward into the week, like always. Leslie: “Did someone ask about palmistry? K furrows his brow in soft mockery, but doesn’t look up. “No one’s here.”. K thinks for a moment. He wishes he’d k...Leslie ...

Every Heart Knows the Fall: Bombs Bomb Away
http://everyheartknows.blogspot.com/2010/04/bombs-bomb-away.html
Thursday, April 22, 2010. Bombs Bomb Away – Elephant Stone ( listen in new tab. Claire called a general staff meeting for Monday night. Café Ulysses had never had one before. For the auspicious occasion, she closed a little early and had Danielle push four tables together to form a sort of larger round table. Claire stands by the door. It’s 9:00. She flips the sign from Open to Closed as K walks up. She opens the door for him. K: “This is gonna be fun, isn’t it.”. Danielle snorts at him, hands on hips...

Friday, April 23, 2010. Oh My God – Snailhouse ( listen in new tab. Tuesday morning. This is how G.T. loses his job. GT sits in Val Percy’s office and wonders how he got there. Of course, he knows how he got there, in a literal sense, like when people know how it rains. It’s a more Sibylline how, something closer to a why. GT smiles. “I can’t deny it.”. He started at Percy, Bors, and Galahad Marketing in their call centre on the third floor. Since January, he moved from the cubicle farm to a shared o...

ASTHMABOY: July 2012
http://asthmaboy.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 13, 2012. No, I don’t want to stay at your place. I need time and space and odder hours to deal with. A spectacular national celebration unequalled. Since Expo ’67 in Montreal. It’s not fair to. Expect me to adhere to your eccentricities. No, I don’t want to stay at your place. I will have my own. What a city! I’m coming, but no. I can’t possibly stand. A spectacular national celebration unequalled. Since the 1851 World’s Fair in London. No, I don’t want to stay at your place.
