Canada Literature

I have heard very little of Canadian literature over the last week…i did see Copeland's new book was reviewed in a short column in the NYT book section, and Ronald Wright and John Ralston Saul are both quoted in the book

Death of the Liberal Class.

Regardless of publicity i urge all Canadian writers on,

we now all know that regardless of color, sexual preference, gender etc. etc. we were all children once…let us move on…

Part 2

Bigger problems than your personal identity may be on the horizon…

      On a ferry,

so literally am out at sea and not sure of my bearings…

  heading to the island to finish my magnificent book                                          

“Poems for the Shaw” a working class proposal

 

The birds are  in the truck and have not voiced any displeasure about being on the move…i actually enjoy it…

Part 3

Julian Assange is being marginalized by the mainstream media…he is being portrayed as a conspiracy kook, who is unstable and anti big government…or at least anti establishment…

but of course it is ok that the top 25 earners on the stock market made the equivalent of over 500,000 teachers salary…

yes that is fine…

that people die in labour battles in India and the US is still at war with Iraq…

                                                hey we need that oil…

don’t believe the people in power want to hold onto that power and expand their universe…

don’t believe there are secrets…that if exposed would reveal some startling things…

don’t believe that corporations encourage a celebrity culture…

don’t believe that Lady Gaga could be considered Times man of the year…

don’t believe Pay pal still takes donations for the KKK but won’t take them for Wikileaks

don’t believe that the media manufactures consent

don’t believe you will ever be enlightened

don’t believe Hollywood perpetrates the hero mythical narrative

don’t believe the personality culture is relevant

because for sure

you are not…
