Fascinated by John Thompson’s story and work, I wanted to create a radio portrait about him. He was a larger than life man, whose mythos too often overshadows his poetry. My docu-dramatic portrayal of Thompson examines this tension between the legends of Thompson and his poetry which, for the most part, has not received the critical attention it deserves.
The Four Houses of John Thompson includes excerpts from an interview with New Brunswick poet Douglas Lochead, Thompson’s colleague at Mount Allison University during the late ’60s and early ’70s; Cheri Croft-Wilson and Allan Cooper, Thompson’s former students, and Peter Sanger, a Nova Scotia poet and Thompson’s biographer.

Bookmas: that time of year when the pen is mightier than not only the sword, but also socks, gift cards, and video games. Maybe not a PS4, however; that thing is tight! Today's not-so-secret BookSanta: Craig Davidson!

Short story writer Andy Flanagan wasn’t always good with words. Growing up, he could barely read, and he compensated by memorizing words and reciting assignments that were in his head, not on paper. Andy failed several grades in junior high and began seriously contemplating leaving school to go to war in Vietnam, before his school …

In the haze of a food-induced stupor, Zoey Dalton and her best friends Bean and Jenna make a pledge to begin performing random acts of kindness—anonymously.
