The internet mystifies me to the point of staunch procrastination, even when all I need to do is email a couple of much savvier friends. Thanks, friends!] Yesterday [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m not a very good Canadian, whatever that might mean. I don’t really watch hockey; though I sometimes get caught up in the fever of the playoffs, I prefer the three-week commitment of the Tour de France, not to mention the scenery. I drink more imported than local beer. I’m tired of the snow after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It used to be that when someone died, a photograph would be taken of the corpse. Children and infants died with some regularity in those days, and parents would often commission a photograph as a memento, their only image of the child lost. In these portraits, a dead infant is posed in a cradle, held [...]]]></description>

I’ve started and stopped sporadically, writing with urgency for a short time, staring into space, abandoning the urge. These pieces have so far not made it onto the blog. I’m not quite sure what they’re saying. Things are not exactly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may have heard: in recent years, the coast of Japan has witnessed unprecedented blooms of jellyfish. Nomura’s jellies, to be precise. Massive, flesh-coloured hoods with dense tangles of scalloped orange and blood-coloured tentacles trailing behind, they can grow up to two metres across and can weigh more than 450 pounds (which is more than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s not something I’ve been doing intentionally, though my long silence on this blog might suggest otherwise. No, the dearth of posts is due to other factors: workload, bike rides, moving across the continent. But, particularly being in a (perpetual) “proto-career” phase in my life, whether or not I should open my mouth is something [...]]]></description>

Without any further ado, the star-nosed mole. You are a mole. Star-nosed. Condylura cristata. I label you in Latin, since I don’t know what you call yourself. Mitch or Starlee?

		<description><![CDATA[This is the second installment in my series of poems for the Zoo show. This piece, entitled Leviathan and Behemoth, responds to several of Jacqui Oakley&#8216;s paintings. I was drawn to the sense of violent entanglement she captures in a series of amazing animal battles: octopus versus crab, lizard versus rooster, baboon troupe versus guar [...]]]></description>
