blog on blog redux

After my original "blog on blog" post, I thought it would be interesting to provide a longer list, an update of various Canadian writers that I'm aware of, that seem to have on-line presences through blogs:

Ralph Alfonso (Vancouver), Karla Andrich (Winnipeg), Jonathan Ball (Calgary), Gary Barwin (Hamilton ON), poet/editor derek beaulieu (Calgary), Jacques Benoit (Edmonton), poet/critic Gregory Betts (St. Catharine's ON), Michael Blouin (Oxford Mills ON), Alex Boyd (Toronto), Rob Budde (Prince George BC), Brian Campbell (Montreal), J.R.

Then there are collaborative ones, including the one Ariel Gordon, Bren Simmers & others keep, as well as this one (when does Gordon find time to do anything else?) or this one, by folk I don't seem to know, and this other one by folk I don't know, Kitabkhana; there are the geographically-related collaborative blogs, including the one Rob Budde plays about in his northern British Columbia, The Calgary Blow-Out, or trans-cribing Canada, the Winnipeg Words, this other one from Calgary, or my own attempts through the ottawa poetry newsletter. Vancouver writer/editor Wayde Compton keeps one with others, on his Hogan's Alley Project, working to celebrate the early histories of the black community in Vancouver. Apparently Toronto poet and ECW Press editor Michael Holmes has started one for mostly ECW business; The Mercury Press also has one for notices, & kemeny babineau's Laurel Reed Books has one, and Jay MillAr's BookThug as well (& then all the others on my sidebar that I just haven't mentioned...). Why does Toronto lad Nathaniel G. Moore need one, two, three, four blogs? There's even a writers retreat with a blog, & then of course the blog for the late Montreal poet Irving Layton...

There are all the Canadians living abroad, working their own variations, including Sina Queyras (Toronto/Montreal) and Corey Frost & his other one (Montreal) wandering New York, Andy Quan (Vancouver) in Australia, or Todd Swift (Montreal), Frances Kruk (Calgary), Richard Rathwell (Ottawa/Vancouver) and John Stiles (Nova Scotia), currently living in England, or poet Neile Graham in Seattle.; what else?

The ones on my sidebar are, for now, the essentials, that I (mostly) visit every day, including John Macdonald's essential Ottawa blog, Queyras', Kate Sutherland's and Jessica Smith's, among others.

I will update this every so, when I hear about others.
