Happy New Year, all! We are thrilled to announce our newest issue of Canadian Literature, Issue 257! In this general issue’s editorial, Editor-in-Chief Christine Kim writes,
“Many of the contributions to this issue offer ways of rethinking the ways in which history and literature inform each other. By turning to Indigenous literatures and languages, diasporic writing, and canonical Canadian literature, the essays and forum pose generative questions about the reading, writing, and teaching of Canadian literatures and histories. . . . Taken together, these essays and forum contributions push us to reflect upon the stories we construct about the past and the histories we routinely draw upon, the conventions that guide these storytelling practices, and our positionality as teachers, writers, and readers.”
This issue also features:
- A forum on “Islanding Canada, Islanding the World,” introduced by Guy Beauregard and with contributions by Eva Darias-Beautell, Cornel Bogle, Joanne Leow, and Guy Beauregard
- Articles by Christopher Lee and Paul Yee, Allison Hargreaves, Johanna Lederer, Cara Schwartz, and David Kootnikoff
- Poetry by Alison Braid-Fernandez, M. V. Downey, John Wall Barger, Annick MacAskill, Moni Brar, Mary Kelly, Ellie Sawatzky, and Kelly Shepherd
- Book reviews by Rina Garcia Chua, Krzysztof Majer, Dani Spinosa, Aislinn C. McDougall, Botao Wu, Emma Morgan-Thorp, and Penelope Hetherington.
