Michelle Good has moved and inspired millions of people with Five Little Indians, the Canada Reads-winning novel that tells the story of a group of residential school survivors coming to terms with their past and finding a way forward. She joined us at the Vancouver Writers Fest on October 21st, 2023, in partnership with Talking Stick Festival, HarperCollins Canada Ltd, and the Peter A. Allard Law School at UBC, in conversation with author Carleigh Baker. Her latest work of non-fiction, Truth Telling, is a collection of essays about the contemporary Indigenous experience in Canada—from resistance and reconciliation to the resurgence and reclamation of Indigenous power.

Vancouver author Carleigh Baker explores topics like climate anxiety in her latest short story collection; hear from the folks behind indie bookstores McNally Robinson and Inhabit Books on the popular titles in their shelves; Nova Scotia fiction writer Elaine McCluskey on her latest novel; books that feature contemporary immigrant stories with Annie Nguyen, and more.

My guest on this episode is Carleigh Baker. Carleigh's debut story collection, Bad Endings, published by Anvil Press in 2017, won the City of Vancouver Book Award, and was also a finalist for the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize and the Emerging Indigenous Voices Award for fiction. Foreword magazine said, about Bad Endings, “Baker is a skillful, sensitive writer with an uncanny gift for subtle, dark humor and the ability to assume the viewpoint of her characters […] There is no judgment or condemnation in these stories, but a tender, deep savoring of the quirks that make us human.”   Carleigh and I talk about how winning a major award was both a shock and the occasion for some private head-swelling, about the experience (so far) of moving from a small independent press to McClelland & Stewart, and about how she keeps forgetting the very lessons she emphasizes when she is teaching creative writing.   Carleigh Baker: carleighbaker.com Music: "simple-hearted thing" by Alex Lukashevsky.

Rachel interviews Carleigh Baker, an editor with Joyland, who talks about the difference between her first and future books, “You can only gaze at your navel for so long. If that’s what you needed to heal, great, but I’m really looking forward to turning my gaze outward.” And about the positive changes and communities that have grown out of dark times in CanLit: “I’m hopeful because I see a lot of women and some men speak up about sexual assault.” Carleigh Baker is a Cree-Métis/ Icelandic writer living on unceded Coast Salish territory. She is the Vancouver editor of Joyland and also editing an upcoming issue of Poetry is Dead. Carleigh’s work has appeared in subTerrain, PRISM International, Joyland, and Matrix. She won the Lush Triumphant award for short fiction in 2012 and is a two-time Journey Prize nominee. In submissions to her, she says she likes bees, spawning salmon, and apocalyptic romance, and tight economical prose with a ton of subtext, a sense of humour (the darker the better) and a deep appreciation of how flawed and confusing humans are. Notes On Problems in the CanLit Community This episode is the first of a few coming up, where Rachel interviews writers and editors closely affected by what’s been happening in CanLit culture, specifically with the University of British Columbia firing of a prof and the fall out when literary heavyweights signed a letter calling for “due process” of the accused. As Carleigh put it in our interview, “Last winter was a dark winter in CanLit.” It’s basically CanLit’s #MeToo moment, but it hasn’t played out the way it has in Hollywood. In this movement, it has been the less powerful people in CanLit speaking up and demanding true accountability from our community. In the show notes on litmaglovepodcast.com, are links to articles that will provide some background on this, though you don’t need to know all the minutiae of this story to listen to the episode. For one, there’s a really familiar pattern here, unfortunately, and for another, we talk about other things, like Carleigh’s enthusiastic interest in heavy metal music, the difference between her first and second book, where she can now look outward, and her activism on Twitter. And we also talk about what makes her hopeful for the future, including the foundation of the UBC Indigenous reading group. And as always it’s full of behind the scenes insights from a literary journal, and tips for you on submitting to lit mags.

These are the collected recordings for CITR 101.9FM's contribution to the 16th Annual NCRA Homelessness Marathon: this includes interviews with vendors working with Megaphone Magazine, an audio collage from the Opioid Overdose Awareness rally, and a discussion on the intersection of homelessness, housing, social exclusion, and addiction. All the recordings you are about to hear are taken from February 21st and 22nd 2017. The purpose of the Homelessness Marathon is to move towards more equitable media, and make the microphone available. Stations across Canada broadcast from spaces accessible to those who deal with homelessness, first and foremost centring their voices. While we broadcast from Megaphone to share the voices of its vendors, we felt that our programming efforts for the Homelessness Marathon could not ignore the opioid overdose crisis which has been devastating communities across North America, in particular the Downtown Eastside. Considering the factors which perpetuate and exacerbate homelessness: such as addiction, housing, social exclusion, and more -- along with the overdose crisis, which is most devastating for homeless communities -- we felt it was essential to also focus on the brave activism of the Downtown Eastside community, and the further necessity for action in the wake of a tremendous human rights crisis. As such we also feature an audio collage from the Day of Action Against the Overdose Crisis rally, and an interview on the intersection of addiction and homelessness. CiTR extends its thank yous to the staff at Megaphone for hosting our broadcast, and facilitating a space for their vendors to talk on-air. Thank you to Megaphone vendors Mark Irvine, Peter Thomson, James Witwicky, Davin Butank for joining us to talk on-air, as well as Duncan Higgan, Project Manager for PHS Community Services. Thank you to the organizers from CAPUD: the Canadian Association of People Who use Drugs and VANDU, Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users, for organizing the Rally for Opioid Awareness on February 21st. Thank you for DURC for letting us record in their space. Thank you to organizers Oona Krieg and Justin Van Westen for talking to us about the intersections of homelessness, poverty, housing, and addiction in the wake of the overdose crisis. Thank you to volunteers Rachel Lau, Dezy Nair, Oona Krieg, and Carleigh Baker for hosting and teching the broadcast from Megaphone. Thank you to Cal Murray for sourcing sounds from the February 21st Day of Action on the Overdose Crisis rally which closed this piece. This piece was produced by Jonathan Kew, and the CiTR Programming Department. Final thank you to all the stations that participated in the 2017 NCRA Homelessness Marathon, including host station Local FM out of St. John New Brunswick.
