Bookmarks: Ben McNally, Al Purdy, and Britney

  • Toronto bookseller Ben McNally is profiled at blogTO.
  • The League of Canadian Poets has “declared” April 21 to be National Al Purdy Day. Says their release (which doesn’t seem to be online): “We invite all Canadian poets, and lovers of Canadian poetry to host a Purdy Party to raise funds to preserve this important cultural and heritage property.” (More on the “Let’s save Al Purdy’s house” movement here.)
  • From the sublime to the etc., etc.: U.K. paper claims Britney Spears has signed deal to write series (!) of memoirs. No further comment.
  • Some info on Q and A (the novel on which Best Picture Oscar nominee Slumdog Millionaire is based).

    Why do pronouncements from the League of Canadian Poets always come off sounding like it was dreamed up by a junior member of the Albanian Communist Party circa 1955. Poor Al Purdy now the domestic darling of a League of House Sitters.
