In April, 2013,
I happened to catch (thanks to Sarah Mangold) the website for the NPM Daily,
and absolutely loved the short essays presented on a variety of subjects
surrounding the nebulous idea of “on writing.” I would highly recommend you
wander through the NPM Daily site to see the pieces posted there.
After reading
through a number of the pieces, I decided to respond by curating an occasional
series of the same over at the ottawa poetry newsletter blog, and have since solicited and posted nearly two
dozen short essays. Given the nature of the site, I’d initially focused on
current or former residents of the City of Ottawa, but have been slowly opening
the series to include authors from further afield. A number of the pieces have
been quite astounding. Just who might be next?
