Jonesing for the Coast
[By now I'm somewhere in Amsterdam with Cokebaby enjoying the first few days of a two week vacation.

On seeing Atwood read at Dalhousie
Halifax didn’t used to be perceived as a literary town, but my experience there always led me to question that view. The highlight of my three months in the area (aside from feeding the swans — and eventually being bitten by one — at Sullivan’s Pond) was the news that Margaret Atwood was going to be doing a reading at Dalhousie University.
Cheryl Cook: East Coast by choice
I am not a native Nova Scotian. Exactly. I wasn’t born here but that was, I believe, an accident. Not that I was an accident. My mother will attest to the forethought given my conception, though she mutters something about “the best laid plans.” I have difficulty thinking figuratively so I have never really worked out what she means by that.
Colleen McKie: East Coast by choice
[Hope everyone is enjoying the start of the Easter long weekend with friends, family and loved ones. This next guest post is slightly delayed in coming to you due to my busy but ever so productive week away in Toronto. @Lavender_Lines has been kind enough to share her experience of living on the East Coast [...]
