Every piece of literature is meant to pass a message. While literary theorists could argue that some pieces of literature are better appreciated by form and structure, rather than by content, such forms and structure would best be seen as the very import of such literary creation. What could best attain acceptance as the purpose of literature, remains the fact that literature is life. Life, in this perspective, is not the life we live. It is a creation beyond human life.

Tami Neilson and her band gave a memorable performance to a lucky crowd at the Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival on Friday night.
Who: Tami Neilson, Sophie May and The Trenwiths
Where: Rhododendron Lawn, Hamilton Gardens
When: Saturday night

Any performer with Tami Neilson’s natural talent and ability should, by rights, be striding major stages around the world, singing to huge crowds. If Covid had not happened, she very well could be doing just that right now.

In the 1950’s, my classmates and I at Queen Elizabeth School exchanged sentimental rhymes, in our autograph books. No doubt, we thought these postcard-size books were our discovery, not realizing they had been popular for many generations. If memory serves me correctly, the school boys of my day showed scant interest in autograph books; only female students circulated them. Although my small book of rhymes has been lost to time, I have no recollection of a boy ever signing it.
Recently, while sorting a box of memorabilia passed on to me by a friend who was moving, I discovered a faded autograph book once owned by a young girl who had lived on Scoharie Road, where I currently reside. Coincidentally, she, too, was a ‘Margaret’ – Margaret Wager.
Singer-songwriter Lyra has revealed that she wrote her hit track Falling after she discovered a guy she thought she was dating was still swiping right.
