Titre uniforme: Health care and politics.Same diff
Par Donato Mancini. 2017
Influenced by documentary cinema, Dada poets, montage techniques, and a range of poets who are still writing, "Same Diff" explores…
the way social and economic histories become imprinted within language itself. The political and poetic melancholy of our moment is revealed in a long poem on climate change, particularly the disappearance of snow, while the real-life effects of fiscal austerity and poverty are voiced in fragments conveying social neuroses that stem from amplified, unfair competition for basic necessities. Each poem introduces a dominant motif that develops through repetition and incremental variations, sourcing language from newspapers, web sources, and overheard conversations to create an emotive effect, as felt in music. Bringing together research that spans the 15th century to the present day, Mancini searches for symbols that stand in for major social issues to articulate the nuances of living in a precarious time. 2017.

Par Margo Goodhand. 2017
In the supposedly enlightened 60s and 70s, violence against women was widespread. It wasn't talked about, and women had few,…
if any, options to escape their abusers. Yet in 1973, with no statistics, no money and little public support, five disparate groups of Canadian women quietly opened Canada's first battered women's shelters. Today, there are well over 600. Goodhand tracks down the rogue feminists whose work forged an underground railway for women and children, weaving their stories into an until now untold history. As they lobbied for funding, scrounged for furniture and fended off outraged husbands, these women marked a defining moment in Canadian history, triggering monumental changes in government, schools, courts and law enforcement. But was it enough to stop the cycle of violence? Forty years later, these pioneers describe how and why Canada has lost its ground in the battle for women's rights.
