Y2AOK

Hi everyone, I do want to introduce myself so that if you and I can benefit from talking to each other we'll know so. I've been studying English in Montréal at Concordia for four years and my Hons. BA will be complete by Christmas. A fair number of my credits have gone toward seminars on modernist and postwar/postmodernist literature and criticism. Going forward I want to study the poetry and theory of unhomed peoples, especially the Caribbean and Latin America. On good days I am committed to beginning an MA in English somewhere in Canada next fall (2020). The schools I am most attracted to are UAlberta, UVic, and York. The US and UK have almost no appeal. (Should I reconsider them?) On bad days I cannot understand why I would continue studying, period. Reasons include, needless to say, money (short-term) and meaning (short- and longterm). (Why do you still believe in studying literature, btw?) If you have questions about Concordia (eg. about The Centre for Expanded Poetics, the library, the downtown campus life), I'm happy to try to answer them. Likewise about Montréal more broadly. If you want to have lengthier exchanges about the thought processes that surround 21C study, I'm very interested also. Looking forward!
