I like the way that the Mondo is coming along. It seems to be getting more ardent, longer, angrier. Yeah. Rob Ruzic writes a long feature about meeting Crad Kilodney and selling your own writing on the streets. Ruzic captures the disaffection of both the buyer and seller in this piece, and avoids whining about the masses and their long lost love of obscure poetry. Meanwhile, Ross rips in to the Toronto Small Press Book Fair and makes the point that it needs to be reclaimed by book publishers and that Victor Coleman should try and listen to the input of publishers to help make the Fair (a dismal failure in the last year) more vibrant. As a result, the SPBF has moved to Queen St. Anyway, lots of great indie Canadian literature reviewed, the Mondo is back and you are its hunkamooga.
