Text of the page (random words):
jenna butler teaches english and creative writing at red deer college but most weekends she makes the three hour drive to her farm in the boreal forest near barrhead alberta the story of that journey literally and figuratively was told in her last book a profession of hope farming on the edge of the grizzly trail her latest book which launches wednesday november 21 at mcnally robinson booksellers takes readers from a farmhouse in the bush to a berth in a ship travelling to svalbard off the coast of norway winnipeg free press what do you want people to know about magnetic north jenna butler magnetic north looks at lands under threat the norwegian arctic the northern canadian boreal it asks what are the stories under the surface and why is it that some voices are privileged in narratives of land exploration and connection to place while others must find subversive outlets from which to speak it looks to the resilience deep strength and strong bonds of women in the building of community in northern climates fp what are your goals for this book jb i hope it conveys a little of the extraordinary beauty of the norwegian arctic a beauty you have to work hard for as a visitor to that place and i hope it makes readers consider the ways in which the places they call home are being reconfigured by climate change there s no maybe about it any longer it s happening and the lands we love and resonantly know are shifting in tremendous ways i hope readers will also be challenged to think carefully about the importance of women s narratives to a balanced sense of place women are canny observers of power dynamics and of connection between the body and the land fp you ve done a variety of retreats and residencies over the years but spending two weeks confined to a tall ship in the arctic must have been interesting jb ha it certainly was i m an introvert and being in company 24 7 for two weeks of 24 hour daylight was intense not only is your body undergoing a reprogramming of sorts to deal with this rewiring of your circadian rhythm but there s no privacy whatsoever every space is shared from where you eat and pass the day to where you sleep i gained a new appreciation for the ways in which humans adapt to living in close company especially in an environment that can quite easily kill you should you misstep or go overboard living on the ship was like being under a searchlight in every sense of the term from the blinding sun on snow all hours of the day and night to the constant company and the inability to follow your own routines of solitude and seclusion i did a lot of people watching and learned to recognize when my colleagues were going through similar cycles of fear boredom anger homesickness awe and so on living on the ship gave me new insight into the various faces we wear in others company as well as the concept that darkness and its accompanying privacy wherein we can think and process emotion are actually great privileges fp you re written five books of poetry and non fiction since 2010 when aphelion came out with newest press what have you learned about your process jb i ve become much better at reading my body for cues about the writing process and where i am in it i don t worry about where the next book will come from in the same way that i once did i know it s there and i can often see or sense it around the corner of the current project then it s a case of writing toward what s coming down the line at me meeting the new work halfway i ve learned to pinpoint where i am in the creative process whether that s the rather omnivorous gathering of research or listening to music or taking photographs the pre writing versus the insistent behind the sternum push of needing to sit down clear the decks and actually write fp what are you reading right now what are you writing right now jb i m reading esi edugyan s washington black and tanya talaga s seven fallen feathers and i ve only just finished vivek shraya s i m afraid of men and andrew miller s now we shall be entirely free so they re still living in my head shraya is incisive brave and honest and miller writes historical fiction with these beautiful poetic turns of phrase they couldn t be more different as writers and yet there s much to love in each one i m writing in and around end of term marking at work and winter prep out on our farm so everything is happening in these curiously curtailed little jerks of productivity i m working on another non fiction book this one about women beekeeping and community building what draws them to the work what they find in it for themselves and how they create belonging i m also researching for a novel set in 19th century london during the rise of early feminism and making some strange gestures toward a

by janedayreader gush praise for gush gush is a letter to the world declaring that feminists everywhere are ready to take back the period and claim it for ourselves courtney dickson in herizons i expect gush will be nonetheless passed around classrooms as well as book clubs women s centres office towers and break rooms and i hope this sharing and the conversations that no doubt ensue are not hushed and tittering i hope teachers counsellors parents and partners bookmark pages highlight passages and display the book on prominent shelves katherine j barrett in understorey we love gush open sesame bookstore kitchener stowaways praise for stowaways winner of the 2015 lansdowne prize for poetry prix lansdowne de poesie at the manitoba book awards stowaways is well imagined and well crafted each poem tight the poet s attention evident from wildlife to the clutter of the everyday to how to offerings the reader is charmed and enticed by the poet s light touch and sure pen images jump out at us grab us by the throat leave us gasping ariel gordon s second collection is as strong as the parts of its sum margaret michele cook katia grubisic and paul savoie judges of the 2015 lansdowne prize for poetry stowaways is a clever and often hilarious collection with its occasional tenderness let slip amidst a clearly unromantic stance and matter of fact prairie landscape with its freshness of metaphor and crazy juxtapositions its ironic and often comic twists in narrative stowaways is a collection that will hold readers eyes and play with their wits to the end gillian harding russell the goose though the cover copy promises poems that are smart and gorgeously funny and they do have those qualities ariel gordon s voice is more than that sometimes within a single poem she gives us laugh out loud humour followed by a poignant smack across the head kimmy beach canadian poetries adept and assured stowaways swaggers jonathan ball winnipeg free press the poems in this collection grapple with both the wild and the mundane the animalistic nature of nature and relentless responsibilities of parenthood mark sampson free range reading ariel gordon s stowaways offers a scrapbook of extraordinary everydayness its poems decoupage tender snapshots beside snappy comebacks fairy tale moments foment against ailing skin sly instructions for loving smash into slovenly destructions of living a beautiful gluey mess of memory decay and dreams kevin mcpherson eckhoff in the closing poem of stowaways the surviving pilot of the first fatal plane crash in recorded history receives a small box of debris from the calamity to amuse him in his convalescence what a fitting figure for this collection s loopy juxtapositions and serious surprises the world in ariel gordon s poems is one in which everyt hing and everyone from a sleep starved human mother to a miscegenational beluga is simultaneously endangered and dangerous if gordon understands our vulnerability how skin is a thin shield that even a birthday balloon drifting from the back seat is a kiss with teeth she vividly reminds us that those teeth are ours if i had had twins says the new mother in primpara i would have eaten one these are nervy poems that refuse to behave themselves they are something to celebrate julie bruck hump praise for hump winner of the 2011 lansdowne prize for poetry prix lansdowne de poesie at the manitoba book awards the focus of hump is the rich experience of motherhood and marriage on the one hand and of city life in the integrated context of the natural world which is everywhere engaging fierce beautiful and unstoppable this is capable exuberant writing at once passionate and meticulous hump is a worthy first book indeed michael harris kenneth meadwell and serge patrice thibodeau jurors for the 2011 aqua books lansdowne prize for poetry ariel gordon is superbly supremely a poet of the body she finds words for the physicality of the forest of the garden of pregnancy hump speaks the erotics of being alive and being in love with being alive robert kroetsch brimming with finely crafted poems that thrum with life and love hump is indeed a very promising debut fiona timwei lam contemporary verse 2 not so much sweetness and light gordon channels adrienne rich s dichotomy of love and frustration with her realism zanna joyce winnipeg free press if you don t know ariel s work i can recommend her book hump which i keep on my bedside table along with all my stuff on lost explorers and castaways and hellish sieges as things to pick up and simply open and starting reading anywhere which is the pretty much the best review a book can get darryl joel berger the beauty of this collection is the love of the mother for her child that relationship that the childfree will never experience but the beauty is hidden slyly in the gorgeous lines that free themselves when needed from the details of the grime the blood the leaking breasts and the mundane sleeplessness of parenting turned poetry kimmy beach canadian poetries hump is gentle and sly but also as sharp as baby teeth and poison mushrooms and it s called hump quentin mills fenn uptown magazine upcoming

origin story why is my name ariel gordon and this blog entitled the jane day reader you ask well my middle names are jane and day after my grandmothers ade augusta rooseboom who was called day laban after she married my grandfather and moved to canada and anna vida mary barrett hamilton who became jane gordon after her immigration and later marriage when i was fourteen i seriously contemplated using jane day gordon or j d gordon as my pen name and then realized that there was no point in having an alternate identity in no degrees of separation winnipeg as a grown up compromise i started using janeday as the username for my email and then for the name of this blog which i started reluctantly and never expected to enjoy i also gave my daughter another version of my grandmothers names
