Get Lit

Hey folks! I'm currently sitting at a desk overlooking the frozen road (and, if I squint through the trees, the Toronto skyline) in front of the Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts. I'm half-way through a seven-day retreat, working on my current MS.

Still, the show goes on! This week we talk with Sean Minogue about his novel, Terminal Solstice. Listen in.

Hey folks! Lots of folks on the show today, all for the same project – Muttertongue: What Is A Word In Utter Space, both a collaborative collection and also a sound recording of the same name. Great conversation with Lillian Allen, Gregory Betts and Gary Barwin. Enjoy!

Hey all! Today's guest is Hamilton resident and author Sky Gilbert who has, you know, done a thing or two (check out his Wiki page). He joins me to talk about his recent novel, The Blue House. Dig!

Hey folks! Double shot of poetry this week with Rebecca Salazar (antibody: poems) and Aisha Sasha John (total). Hope you enjoy the show.

Time to talk with another rock journo compatriot of mine, Jason Schneider. You might know him as co-author of the legendary rock epic Have Not Been The Same (with Ian A.D. Jack and Michael Barclay). He's here to talk about his latest, That Gun in Your Hand: The Strange Saga of 'Hey Joe' and Popular Music's History of Violence.

Hey everyone! Paige from Grit Lit pop in to tell us about what the Hamilton readers & writers festival is up to. After that, we talk once again with Jarrett Mazza, this time about his new Custodian series. Tune in!

In keeping with the spooky season, we're gonna talk about vampires! Emily A. Weedon is on to discuss her novel, Hemosapiens. Happy Hallowe'en (I really do prefer that spookier old-school spelling.

This week on GET LIT we talk with author Kasia Jaronczyk about her novel, Voices in the Air. Check it out!

Hey folks! Today we chat with author Danila Botha about her novel, A Place For People Like Us. Hope you dig. I'm sick so I'm gonna go lie down now.

Today on the show we're joined by Jim Johnstone! He was last on the show several years ago to talk about the collection he edited, The New Wave. Today he talks about his own work, mainly the latest collection of poetry criticism, Bait & Switch: Essays, Reviews, Conversations, and Views on Canadian Poetry.

Joining Jim on the episode is Dorianne Emmerton, here to talk about the Brockton Writers Series. They, like everyone else, are facing funding issues, and you can help out at the link above.
