She needs a way to support herself and… read review

A cri de cœur, a plea, an apology, an explanation, defense and an apologia

2 years ago

I want to apologise, explain and pray for understanding from all whom I have not responded to for so long. This past year has been truly difficult personally and financially. I won't go into details unless you more curious individuals require detailed information; suffice it to say, I am very sorry for not communicating and I deeply apologise for not writing to at least explain why, before this- forgive me, please.

About Me:

Poet, mystic, pain in the butt. Originally from NYC, I've been in Toronto since '86. I miss NY, but Canada is so much saner than the US. I'm entering graduate school in the fall. I am getting my MA in English Lit, but I love poetry and hope to focus on poetics, so I'll easily be able to earn a living when I finish, being as there are so many opportunities for poets in the real world.
Interests:

I enjoy books, movies, art, poetry and discussion. People say you should never talk politics or religion, but I think it's what keeps us alive and breathing and THINKING.
Favourite Books:

Not Wanted on the Voyage, The Metamorphosis, Pride and Prejudice, King Lear, The Odyssey, Reading Lolita in Tehran, Wuthering Heights, Beloved, Franny & Zooey, Ordinary Men, Maus, Great Expectations, Jane Eyre, Persuasion, Hedda Gabler, A Doll House.
Favourite Movies:

Latter Days, Beautiful Thing, Drop Dead Fred, Groundhog Day, Hearts and Minds, Persuasion, Pow-wow Highway, Priest, Tampopo, The Razor’s Edge, Ma Vie en Rose, Maidens In Uniform, Patch of Blue, High Hopes, Mass Appeal, Babette's Feast

This is a wonderful children's movie about loneliness, courage and true friendship. The main character is an 11 year old boy whose parents move around a lot which always makes him the new kid and so he has few friends. His parents promise him a dog and when he goes to the pound, he finds a unique and surprising new companion.
