My very special guest on this one-year-anniversary episode is Meaghan Strimas. Meaghan is the author of three collections of poetry, including Junkman's Daughter and A Good Time Had By All, which was shortlisted for the 2011 ReLit Award. She the editor of The Selected Gwendolyn MacEwen and co-edited Another Dysfunctional Cancer Poem Anthology with the late Priscila Uppal. She is a professor in the Faculty of Media and Creative Arts at Humber College, where she runs the Bachelor of Creative and Professional Writing degree. (She is also married... to me.) Meaghan's most recent book is Yes or Nope, which was published by Mansfield Press in 2016 and was awarded the Trillium Book Award for Poetry in the following year. Author Zoe Whittall said of that book that “the poetry in Yes or Nope is whip-smart and tenderhearted, funny and alive.”   Meaghan and I talk about the shift that happened in her writing that allowed her to write Yes Or Nope under some difficult circumstances and time constraints, about working on the final books by her friends Priscila Uppal and Teva Harrison, books that, in both cases, were published posthumously, and about her new work, which she says further develops the stylistic freedoms she discovered in Yes or Nope and which will pay tribute to some of the writers who have inspired her.   Meaghan Strimas: notesandqueries.ca/meaghan-strimas Music: "simple-hearted thing" by Alex Lukashevsky.

Diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in her late 30s, and determined to find meaning in the loss of good health, Teva Harrison began documenting her thoughts and feelings through essays and comic illustrations. The result was "In Between Days: A Memoir About Living with Cancer." In 2016, she spoke with Steve Paikin about her diagnosis and her optimistic approach to living what was left of her life. Sadly, she died just three years later. Her final book, "Not One of These Poems Is About You," chronicled living with the disease as she prepared her loved ones for her death. In 2020, Harrison's husband, David Leonard talked about his life by her side as she fought cancer, and the reality of working through the loss of his life companion.

In a world obsessed with instant gratification, Teva Harrison reminds us that there is potential in the quiet moments, the ones without goals or deadlines. She urges us to look at nature and appreciate the small successes of each day: the kindness of a stranger, a chance to do a good deed, a laugh shared with a friend—these are all achievements. Harrison compares the realization of our potential to flowers that grow after the snow melts away, our actions determining when we will blossom. Teva Harrison, was an award-winning writer and graphic artist and she spoke at The Walrus Talks Success in 2018. Though we lost her to cancer in 2019, she continues to inspire with her words and her art. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We listen back to a conversation with Oregon native Teva Harrison. In her memoir “In-Between Days,” she blended her drawings and graphics with prose to tell the story of her stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis at age 37, her subsequent treatment, and her struggle to find meaning and joy in her day-to-day life. We spoke with Harrison in 2017. She died over the weekend at the age of 42.

Noah Richler talks to Anosh Irani, whose novel The Parcel has been nominated for the Governor-General's and Writers' Trust Awards; to Teva Harrison, author of In-Between Days, a memoir of her cancer in words and pictures; and to Patti Laboucane-Benson at the Edmonton centre for the rehabilitation of indigenous offenders that was the inspiration of her prize-winning graphic novel (with Kelly Mellings), The Outside Circle, winner of this year's CODE Burt Award for First Nations, Inuit and Métis Literature. The writer is an artist with "A Foot in Two Worlds."

"I felt that I'd taken the easy road. Never one to set up camp in regret, I found myself face to face with giant, seemingly insurmountable, regret. I suddenly realized I had been wasting time." In this CreativeMornings/Toronto talk from December 2015, writer and artist Teva Harrison shares with us the lessons she's learned since being diagnosed with metastatic cancer. Among her biggest realization is the concept of time and how to seize it. Since her diagnosis, Teva has written and illustrated the critically acclaimed graphic memoir, In-Between Days, about her experience living with cancer. Honest and pragmatic, this talk inspires us to stop waiting and start living for today. This episode was made possible by our friends at MailChimp and InVision.
