Today's #canadianbooks by #canadianwriters are books of #poetry: My Heart Is A Stray Bullet by Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, straight up decolonial and challenging; and Leavings by Kate Siklosi, beautiful concrete poetry based on the leaves of various trees. Enjoy!
My weekly #canadianbooks #canadianwriters picks are (drum roll please) Eating Wild in Eastern Canada: A Guide to Foraging the Forests, Fields, and Shorelines by Jamie Simpson - very informative with photos of most of the foods; also Scarborough by
Catherine Hernandez - a thoroughly Canadian story. For those who don't know, Scarborough is part of Toronto.
Weekly (hopefully) post about the #canadianwriters #canadianbooks I think are worth reading.
Mansions of the Moon by Shyam Selvadurai is one of my all-time favourites. A gentle, beautiful book about the imagined life of Yasodhara, the woman who married Siddhartha Gautama and became a leader in her own right.

Great idea! I'll try to post once a week with #canadianwriters #canadianbooks I've enjoyed, starting with my most recent favourite VenCo by Cherie Dimaline. Magical realism that made me laugh out loud.
#cheriedimaline
@Lynnd @alan @vernilla @bookstodon Two of my favourite #CanadianWriters who have produced many wonderful #CanadianBooks are Wayne Johnston and Guy Vanderhaeghe. Both are prolific but Johnston's The Mystery of Right and Wrong is exceptional as is Vanderhaeghe's August Into Winter.
Has a hashtag developed for Canadian Writers yet? Both #CanadianBooks and #CanadianWriters seem to have zero posts and my surveillance of Dark Side Social Media indicates that for some totally unknown reason, there's been a sudden upsurge of interest in Canadian books.
It seems to me that if we can get organized, this would be a great way to attract those people to the fediverse.
Some books by Canadian authors as we honour our great nation today. Happy Canada Day!

I co-authored an article with Moira Walsh called Digital Mountains, Ink in the Sink. It’s about doing an online writing residency at Banff. You can read it at periodicities : a journal of poetry and poetics. https://periodicityjournal.blogspot.com/2023/05/moira-walsh-and-shantell-powell-digital.html?m=1 @indigenousauthors #WritingCommunity #WritingResources #WritingRetreat #WritingResidency #CanLit #CanadianWriters #CanadianLiterature #OnlineResidency #Writing

GORGEOUSLY FUNNY-SAD TALE of negotiating divorce, heartbreak, and dating at 28 in the bookish-ish social circles of Toronto. Brilliantly observant about how smart women can get very firmly in their own way. A MINUS

Interesting piece on Canadian #writer Miriam Toews's complicated relationship with her Mennonite hometown of Steinbach, Manitoba. Her #book 'Women Talking' is the basis for the film of same name, nominated for Oscar.

She is such an excellent writer. I've read many of her books. "All My Puny Sorrows" still haunts me. In good ways.

Just finished Ann-Marie MacDonald's Fayne. Fabulous. Get it. Can't say enough about this wonderful chunky read. It ought to be nominated for every prize out there. Kudos, again, Ann-Marie .
