    bowering S UNEXPURGATED HISTORY OF CANADA by george bowering. Manuscriptdelayed indefinitely. george bowering Photo Thies Bogner.  
    http://www.thebukowskiagency.com/BoweringsUnexpurgatedHistoryOfCanada.htm
    
    Extractions: Long famed for his literary criticism, poetry and fiction, George Bowering has moved on to a successful new phase of his career, telling Canadians about themselves in an irreverent fashion no historian would attempt. In this third volume on Canada’s past, he forces us to reckon with things we’ve spent centuries trying not to see. With unabashed love for his country, he shows it, warts and all.

43. The Bukowski Agency - Standing On Richards
    by george bowering, 80,000 words hardcover Manuscript now available. RIGHTSSOLD Canada Penguin, May 2004. george bowering Photo Danielle Schaub.  
    http://www.thebukowskiagency.com/StandingOnRichards.htm
    
    Extractions: Filled with oddball characters, Bowering's mini-narratives explore the awe and mystery of human relationships. In the title story, "Standing on Richards," a disillusioned English professor ensconces himself on a seedy corner in downtown Vancouver. There, amongst women selling their bodies, he tries to look intellecually seductive in the hopes of selling his mind. In "Old Bottles", a woman recounts how her neighbour cut down his lilac hedge only to replace it with a fence made of empty wine bottles. She thinks the man is crazy, but nonetheless finds his bottle fence strangely appealing. In another story, entitles simply "A Short Story," Bowering openly challenges the conventions of realist storytelling and plays with readers' expectations. Throughout the story we are encouraged to question the method of storytelling: "By the way," the reader is asked, "have you noticed that when the narrator speaks in the first person, he makes you the second person?" There is remarkable magic and daring in these fifteen stories. Playful and intriguing, Bowering's fictions immediately seduce readers with their humour, narrative power and humanity, even as they extend the limits of fiction. Intelligent, funny and enigmatic, they will resonate in your mind long after the experience of reading them.

    Extractions: How the Nation’s First Poet Laureate Is Managing the “Strange Situation” of Poetry in Canada by Tracy Pomerinke Canada’s poet of state gives a mixed review on the state of poetry. George Bowering says that “lively groups” across Canada continue the tradition of experiment and practice and that great new books of poetry appear every year. Yet in the general public, he observes, Canadian poetry has long passed its 1960s heyday. Less Canadian literature is taught in the schools, and popular media are far more interested in the large dollar figures connected to “hot novelists.” (See a recent press release Poetry in Canada, says Bowering, finds itself in a “strange situation.” So does the poet. Bowering is the nation’s first parliamentary Poet Laureate — and the distinction is not without irony. Now serving Her Majesty, Bowering was once expelled in high school for his campaign against Canada’s recognition of the English monarch. His two-year appointment as PL began November 8, 2002. “This is the first time that Canada has had a poet laureate and it is the first time that I have been a poet laureate,” says Bowering, “so no one was clear at all about what being or having the PL would consist of.”

    Extractions: megan simmer, the peak This week's "More Than Just a Pretty Face" is Professor George Bowering. Dr. Bowering has been teaching at Simon Fraser for 25 years now, and he's had the anniversary dinner and the tacky SFU memorabilia to prove it. Until recently, he carried a very distinctive briefcase, covered in stickers from various places and of assorted athletics teams; something that made him easier to recognize than the way that the english department's web page describes him: "involved in Canadian and American Literature and Contemporary Avant-Garde." (Try finding that in a crowd!). He has also received the Governor-General's award. He describes himself as either a writer or a professor, depending on the circumstances; writer if applying for a visa to go to Europe, and professor if the application is for a credit card (because that's the profession with a regular pay cheque attached to it). When he's not working, he would like to be playing. Fishing and hanging out at a cabin would be wonderful, but he neither fishes nor owns a cabin. Like any good boy from the Okanagan, he likes to play baseball in the summertime. He gets out to readings that interest him, but his reaction to my question about poetry slams made it clear that he isn't impressed by the competitions.

    Extractions: Raymond Gee, The Peak While driving up the mountain to SFU recently, I noticed that my former professor, George Bowering, was giving a reading the next day. How timely, I thought. Upon leaving the hill after hearing the great words of Sharon Thesen and George Bowering, I felt a little sad. I was recalling the years when I had the fortune to land in George's Canadian Literature course, an under-confident student fumbling my way through a class presentation of Warren Tallman's Wolf in the Snow. I want to speak briefly about some snapshots taken inside George's classroom. One time, when he was asked about Dadaism, he got up and walked out of the class. George also had a serious side which would become evident in his discussions of the many Canadian and American writers he presented in class. Oftentimes, during his "lectures" about the work of writers such as T.S. Eliot, H.D., Sheila Watson and Margaret Atwood-just to name a handful-you would see George remove his glasses and go into a line-by-line explanation of whatever was at hand. It was at those moments that I felt as if George was trying to remove the self-consciousness of being on stage as a performer, go into his thoughts, and not let his awareness of his audience interfere with the process. It was at those times that I felt most privileged to be on the inside, leaning on every syllable and intonation of his voice.

    Extractions: home about archives forum ... submit eorge Bowering recently became the country's first Poet Laureate. while this post, combined with a couple of Governor General's awards, might make a lesser writer steer clear of controversy, Bowering has no problem speaking his mind. whether in writing poetry, fiction, memoirs or history, he tells it like he sees it. he took some time in between travelling back and forth across the country to tell us what's what. cancon I find it hard to gather, as they say, my thoughts about this one. One of the curious facets I have paid notice to is the question of being in the establishment as against being in the opposition. Is there something about being a "poet" that makes it possible to be a shit disturber in the palace? Well, I have to say that the Parliament of Canada is getting their PL for a rock-bottom price. The first TV appearance I gave after the position was filled was on "ZeD," where I proposed having sex with chickens. That did not get me into trouble. But saying "horseshit" to the idea that Slam events can make a city's greatness in poetry caused a storm, as the publicity-seeking slammers and the controversy-seeking press got together and scratched each other's nuts. But this job does make it odd to be a writer. I have been too busy to be much of a writer. Maybe you sacrifice yr writing time for a couple years in order to have a chance to make Canadians think for 10 seconds a week about poetry.
