TDR offers our readers the most expansive guide to TorLit, Spring 2008. 

Now I know what you might be saying, why Toronto? Why not Calgary, why not Vancouver? This past fall TDR did a special Montreal focus. Stay tuned for more city-focused features in the future.

In addition to our blockbuster 28 Books Later, we have a special opinion feature on the great bookstore debate.

Plus new interviews with:

• Maggie Helwig
• Pasha Malla
• Claudia Dey
• Sara Tilley
• Nathan Whitlock and
• Meaghan Strimas, editor of The Selected Poems of Gwendolyn MacEwen.

Finally, two reviews ... Youth is awesome. Reinventing and rewriting or remixing ones history, or creating a new one is rad. Having the opportunity to create meaningful work about pre-adulthood, or dealing with subjects that still bother us as modern artists is a cathartic and rewarding experience. These two spring books do that.
