Dear Jack and Meg,
Oh well. Oh well. Oh well. I’m searching my head for something clever to say.
Don’t go away. I’m sure you’ve heard it all before, but I every time I see you, I wonder why, why since you released your statement on February 2nd calling an end to the thirteen-year odyssey that has been the White Stripes, I’ve been mad with grief. I just don’t know what to do with myself.
You see, I was sitting there in a comfortable chair when my friend first handed me, burnt copies of

Thursday, March 10 saw a rare and unusual spectacle at UFV’s student-run restaurant, Casey’s on Campus: a wildly successful student event. Put on by members of Geography 460, the event was an information gathering session for the future UFV-centered area of Abbotsford – or “U District,” – for which planning is currently underway.
The class, a practicum and planning course that meets on Saturdays, is led by professor Cherie Enns, who has also been involved in the university’s global development efforts. A small and dedicated group of students in the class, which includes Scott Varga, Kristin Galcso, Chris Ovens, Milan Francisty, Angeline Mushumanski, Jessica Kugler, were responsible for organizing the event, which registered over 300 attendees – no small feat on a typically disengaged campus.

From
The Raw Shark Texts to
Atlas Shrugged and every Chuck Palahniuk novel in between, it’s not too hard these days to find a book (or film) that plays devious tricks on your mind. Rarer is the breed that takes you for that mental rollercoaster ride and then leaves you thinking about the underlying message for days to come. Enter Peter Darbyshire, with his follow up to the critically-acclaimed
Please.
The Warhol Gang takes place in a dystopian future… or wait, does it? The chilling realization of Darbyshire’s novel is that the world he writes about – one of malevolent marketing companies and the brainwashed masses who live to consume – is really not a big stretch from what we experience day to day. Taking a break from reading
“A Short Sad Reading” hardly sounds like a fun way to spend your time. Yet, that is exactly what a roomful of students, faculty and community members did last Thursday, March 24 and no one in attendance seemed too sad to do so, especially since the read-ing was by legendary BC author George Bowering. Words can be deceiving.
Bowering, the first parliamentary poet laureate of Canada, is a prolific writer with dozens of works of fiction, poetry, history, and literary criticism. In 2002, the same year he was made poet laureate, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. He was awarded the Order of British Columbia in 2004. Bowering is best known for his Avant Garde approach to all his work and inclusion as a founding member of the influential TISH magazine and group of poets that includes Fred Wah, Frank Davey, and Jamie Reid. These are just the bare bones of a prolific career that can be found on any online source. Facebook also insists that Bower-ing “now spends his time tro
