Finished reading Michael Christie's page turning novel Greenwood & it really reinforces Larry David's point that you need to respect wood https://t.co/vbnMoW888D

It's been tough term in Canadian Comics re student engagement online but so impressed with response to Stanley Wany's experimental, surreal HELEM last night & willingness to experience a text, follow its lead rather than seek "mastery." Teaching never gets old. @ConundrumCanada

Just finished Unsettled: Cambodian Refugees in the New York City Hyperghetto by @UnsettledCity, most readable, thought provoking academic book read in a long time. Humane, erudite, angry, personal, theoretical. Such a good life narrative of Ra Pronh too. https://t.co/k8GDV6QcJ6
