The Persnickety Reader

I made the trek into Edmonton today to take care of a half-dozen details. The big news is I have a suit now for the wedding. And I picked up a father’s day gift from Sherry, who said I could buy a book of my choosing. My choice: Czeslaw Milosz’s Selected Poems 1931-2004. I’m looking forward to reading it right after I’m done reviewing Jan Conn’s Jaguar Rain: The Margaret Mee Poems for Northern Poetry Review.

In other news, I’m planning on some upcoming changes here at IanLeTourneau.ca. Once a month, look for a featured review, to be published here on the last day of each month. I’m working on a review of Eight Stages of Translation by Robert Bly right now. Nothing too fancy: just an overview and some thoughts. And I want people to come back everyday so one way to lure them is some original content. I’m going to post a picture of the day everyday: that’ll be pretty easy because every day I see something interesting in my back yard–lots of deer, all kinds of birds, and even a wolf one day. The only hitch is that I need a digital camera. We’re going to buy one soon, so I hope that feature comes on-line soon. Look for some changes (and original content) soon!

By the way, please leave a message to let me know your reading.
