FEATURES

THE POETIC IS POLITICAL                                                                        .14

Evelyn Lau’s eighth book of poetry, Pineapple Express, is full
of the kind of emotional truth and candid moments that one usually finds in
a memoir. In this interview, she discusses how poems can push social
boundaries and often speak to things we dare not confess.
by Lindsay Wong

DISARMING CYBER MISOGYNY                                                               .18
We’ve seen how social media can be used to target women as well as people
who are Black, Indigenous, people of colour and LGBTQ+ folks, with hateful
messages. This article shines light on the solutions we need to hold companies
and perpetrators accountable and to end technology-assisted violence.
by Suzie Dunn
