Canadian Literature #194 – Visual/Textual Intersections
[UPDATE]: Online content is available.
The Autumn 2007 issue of Canadian Literature is out! This is a very exciting issue for a few reasons:
- This is the first custom cover we have ever published. It was designed by our award-winning designer/typographer, George Vaitkunas.
- There is an article on comics by the wonderful Deena Rymhs (anyone who sends me their personal copy of a book to scan because I’m unhappy with the quality of those provided is A+ in my books) entitled “David Collier’s Surviving Saskatoonand New Comics”. Deena is also the most recent president of the ALCQ – ACQL (we publish their Best Paper by an Emerging Scholar winners).
- There is some crazy artwork referenced in Travis Mason’s “Placing Ekphrasis: Paintings and Place in Stanley Park” that I had to get directly from the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam (Museum of Art and History).
- It is Laurie Ricou‘s last issue as editor. He is equally the most encouraging, intelligent, and intimidating man I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. I’m going to miss our long-standing joke about sprouts.
- It’s the first time I used my new “silhouette guy with megaphone” graphic (Call for Papers in the back).
Online Content
Online content for the issue will be showing up at canlit.ca sometime next week (i.e. when our assistant is back from holidays) and issues are either in the mail or in the hands of subscribers. In the meantime, here’s one of George Woodcock’s last interviews.
