Get Lit

I first met Sean Michaels as a member of the grand jury for the Polaris Music Prize. He very modestly told me he was "working on a book." That book, of course, was the Giller-winning Us Conductors. I got to speak to him about that book, and again when he released The Wagers (we did an event together and it recorded it to be two episodes). Sean's newest, Do You Remember Being Born, is fantastic. Hope you enjoy our conversation.

Hope you’re all doing well out there. Had a blast putting together today’s show, which features author Alicia Elliott. Her debut novel, And Then She Fell: A Novel is amazing and occasionally horrifying. Highly recommended. If you enjoy, you can hear her talk about her collection of essays, A Mind Spread Out On The Ground, over here on E127.

Hey folks! In order to get as many folks on as I can I’ve done another double episode. Two great books of poetry this week. We speak with Emily Osborne (Safety Razor) and Jake Byrne (Celebrate Pride With Lockheed Martin). Hope you enjoy ’em both.

Hey all! On today's show we talk with Eden Boudreau about her powerful memoir, Crying Wolf. Content warning for sexual violence, just so you know.

Hey everyone. This week, we chat with Janika Oza. Her novel, A History of Burning, is remarkable. Listen in to find out what it’s all about.

This week! We chat with author Curtis LeBlanc about his latest novel, Sunsetter.

I'd write more but I'm exhausted due to...many things. Hope you're all well!

Hey folks! Excited to bring you another episode. Had a wonderful, interesting chat with author Corinna Chong about her work and short stories as a form. Her newest collection is The Whole Animal, available through Arsenal Pulp Press. Check out the show!

This week on the show! My conversation with Violet Browne about her novel, This Is The House That Luke Built. Listen in if you can.

This fall, if all goes well, ours guests will include Lorna Crozier, Sean Michaels, Karma Brown, Waubgeshig Rice, Alicia Elliott and others. An exciting line-up!

Also: if you’re in Hamilton, make sure you drop by the author tent at Supercrawl, there’s a lot happening. Details to come.

Hey folks! Finally re-entering real life after recovering…though the shows never stop
