The Link

October 23, 2026

Essay·Experimental prose·Non-fiction·Picks·Trails

October 19, 2026

Book·Canada·Gabriel Tait·Picks·Review

MEEKS by Gabriel Tait Debut novel, independently published in 2023 A wild ride of a journey, very well structured in its fifty-three chapters.

Essay·Experimental prose·Non-fiction·Picks·Trails

October 14, 2026

Bill Rectangle·Book·Memoir·Non-fiction·Picks·Review·Yore

‘I would not change it. Not because every part of it was perfect, because it was not. I would not change it because it helped make me. Stenhouse gave me stories, confidence, humour, toughness, movement, music, family, friendship, and pride. And for all of that, I am grateful.’…

The Sad Sound of Silence

October 13, 2026

Essay·Experimental prose·Impartial Journalism·Non-fiction·Picks·Tales to Heal·Trails

October 11, 2026

Canada·Interview·Madelyn June Jorgensen·Non-fiction·Picks·Portugal·Switzerland

I began to understand that life deals us unfair situations that can either break us or make us a better person. It made me a better person. I also knew I was a survivor and could handle tough situations and not buckle under pressure. I also learned that I never…

‘Characters Can Survive Without Dinner, But I Can’t’

October 10, 2026

Anna Alcott·Interview·Non-fiction·Picks
