Moving—A
Lifetime in Transition Gary
Lund
Moving is my life’s theme.
It’s what I do. It might be what I am. I strive
to be rooted and at the same time I long to have wings.
It’s a tough thing to achieve—roots and
wings at the same time.
Who
Wants to Go on a Road Trip? Oriana
Evans
“Who wants to go on a road
trip?” my husband asks our four children: Daniel,
Christian, Angelica, and Miranda.
“I do!” they eagerly respond and wave their
hands in the air.
“—to look at antiques,” he continues.
Wild
Women's Weekend Karen
Larsen
The invitation said, “Wear your WWW t-shirt,
bring an appetizer, and meet in the forward lounge,”
just as it’s said for the last 16 years. Eleven
friends gather at the coveted window seats towards the
bow of the BC ferry, not to gaze at the breathtaking
September views, but to convert the life-jacket storage
bin into a buffet table.
Poetry
Along
Calle Diaz Ordaz Carly
Reid
Strolling down the narrow street/ through
warm air/ and soft lamplight,/ I feel their eyes...
Clarity
Tessa
MacKinnon
I was ready/ to strangle my boyfriend
/ and get the hell out of India.
Choosing
a Bedtime Story Vanessa
Simpson
I have surrounded you with an array/
of novels and newspapers on the cotton sheets,/ of which
you have read only snippets of paragraphs.
Santiago:
First Time as a Visible Minority
Carly Reid
On a crowded micro bus,/ curious
brown eyes/ in round solemn faces/ watch us...
Columns
Loosely
Speaking Deborah
Hutton
What words do you love? Do they have
to be sesquipedalian to rate, or do you prefer more
truncated expressions? Do you find the cachet of an
onomatopoeic phrase leaves you punch-drunk or discombobulated?
Word
Play: Night Tripper
Brandon Ferguson
Exploding like supernovas before my
face, celestial rarities rearing their beautiful heads
in the belly of English Bay, fireworks with fine form,
finite precision, and foreign design pop and project
their lives and deaths onto our soft quilted sky.
Writers'
Web: The Importance of Query Letters Vanessa
Simpson
The query letter is a constant element
of freelance writing, and it’s a bane for many
freelancers and editors. A query letter is no more than
a question posed to an editor of a publication—a
letter where writers introduce themselves and pitch
their ideas or articles.
