And/Or: A Genre Bending Column | Stephen J. West

If fiction is the act of creation, then nonfiction is noncreative and you’re left with a choice: creative nonfiction is a form of writing that is so limited by its own dilemma that it can accomplish nothing or, it must always strive to transcend its own contradiction. And/Or is suspicious of categorization and is reluctant to decide if the “creative” or the “nonfiction” is more important to the genre. And/Or is inclined to think it’s the space between them that matters.



CanLit | John Coleman

Clickety-clacked by the speedy typing fingers of John Coleman (@johnboycoleman), this column keeps you current on most things literary north of the Canadian-American border. "Most" being the revealing word. Live in Iqaluit and attend a hip new writing seminar? Know a Maritime fisherman who doubles as an author? Tip John off with a comment and he'll do his darndest to include your CanLit story as well. 



Dartmoor: Beyond Myth and History | Simon Ward

Interaction at the intersection of landscape, history and art in the Dartmoor region of the United Kingdom.



THIS Reads | John Coleman, Lacey N. Dunham, Sweetman

We write! We read! We write about what we read! Occasionally, we read what we write!



Thoughts from South Asia | Kulpreet Yadav

South Asia matters! It's a place where ideas thrive, people live their stories with candid charm, humans breathe art, and all things living assimilate music like a second nature. This is a place where originality prevails over the hype and the talent nurtures with neglect. But things might just be changing. In my column I will try to spot these changes, see if they really matter and showcase them as they are.
