It was really inspiring hearing (and hosting) Dionne Brand and Rita Wong at Play Chthonics last night. It feels this week as if a world that recognizes justice, beauty and hope is re-emerging after decades of hiding underground.

Upcoming on February 19 : ” Progressive Texts”– an event to launch two special issues of West Coast Line: Active Geographies: Women and Struggles on the Left Coast, edited by Rita Wong and Joanne Lee; Citizenship and Cultural Belonging, edited by Sophie McCall and David Chariandy; The Artist and the Moose: A Fable of Forget by Roy Kiyooka, edited by Roy Miki; and Sybil Unrest by Rita Wong and Larissa Lai.

Paul Lai has just published a pretty cool article about Salt Fish Girl in MELUS. Alessandra Caperdoni has written beautifully about the Rachel poems in West Coast Line. Very pleased to be thought of with such care and intelligence.
