The intersection between pictures and stories

2015-09-30T13:44:36-04:00

From my discovery of Neil Bantock's Griffin and Sabine books, I have sought out books that play with form. (Even earlier, I fell hard for Anastasia Krupnik's To-Do lists which appeared as handwritten notes on lined paper in Lois Lowry's books.) Recently, Kim Belair's and Ariadne MacGillivray's Pure Steele (2013) struck

1648 Henfryn Street and 363 Carlisle Street: "Wenlock Edge" feels so vivid that one can hardly resist keying in the significant addresses to see what appears on the digital map. These addresses do not actually exist in London, Ontario. But there is a Henfryn Line which runs north-south, just east of Clinton, Ontario. And
