Member Review
Canadian writers take so much for granted. Canada Council programs. Festivals and readings. Cheques arriving from the Public Lending Right Commission and Access Copyright. The Writers’ Trust of Canada Awards. Apparently, some of us believe that these things sprang unbidden from a naturally generous culture, and will always be with us. But they exist thanks mainly to the sustained creative efforts and constant vigilance of The Writers’ Union of Canada. We owe. We owe those who have gone before us, and we owe those who will come after.

Benj Gallander
Benj Gallander ran away to work in the Middle East, France and Czechoslovakia, but amidst betwixt and between, wrote a best-seller and six plays and a poetry book which is a left-right hemisphere link-up and started the SummerWorks Theatre Festival and his works sold in Austria, Denmark, England, Germany and Hawaii (not a country, but a nice place to sell something) and the United States and other places and thinking of this exhausted him so he's sitting back, writing and planning how to get a publisher for his latest bizarre book which is mostly impure nonsense and isn't related to his investment letter which isn't nonsense and serious although many people believe letters about money should be seriouser but Benj ponders other stuff because the aftermath of expectations is still death and how'd that slip in unless it's because if you read this with the given punctuation you probably dropped dead unless you swim underwater a bunch.
