  • The Long Bloom of the Environment: Problems and Solutions

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    We usually imagine environmental concerns in terms of a human-caused litany of losses. We have heard about the loss of biodiversity, deforestation, degradation of land, climate change, toxins in the air, and the disappearance of clean water and soil. Amongst that welter of information, if we were admit the selfish truth, we typically think about how such disasters might affect us. We consider food ... Read more

  • A Storied Winnipeg: Fables and Local Legends

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    The stories of Winnipeg are as varied as the city itself. Caught in the middle of the continent by the amber of its past glory and its current penury, Winnipeg occupies a rare and beautiful place in the Canadian landscape. Winnipeg is defined by its main road, which merely circles the city, and its tottering buildings sitting on pylons driven deep into the mud of the ancient lake-bed. The ... Read more

  • A Gentle End: Life after Apocalypse

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    Having the time to think, to react, and to frantically plan, is worse in some ways than gut-wrenching terror and desperate action. A sudden attack or viral overload is horrifying. They are wrapped in tales of societal niceties disappearing and ravening beasts tearing from suburban homes to feed on the offal of a collapsed society. The movies minutely describe the people who scream from buildings ... Read more

  • Historiographic Metafiction

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    In this project I ground my reading of historiographic metafiction in a series of postmodern texts which work out of and subvert traditional notions of historical writing. I use Linda Hutcheon's construction of this postmodern genre to investigate the particular literary and historical strategies these texts use and abuse in order to write an alternative history. Beginning by reviewing the theory ... Read more

  • Writing This Ability: Parables and True Stories

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    We use the expression scattered skills a lot of the time when talking about disability, and I have come to embrace that idea. Some people are good at math. I am not. I have a good spatial sense. Others do not. I have begun to think about this spectrum of human skills, all the way from Kim Peek to the dullness we call normality as the true range of human ability. In our technological future we will ... Read more

  • The Greenhouse Girl

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    When Amy set out to write a novel, and thus establish herself as a writer to be reckoned with, she was faced with a problem. Although most novelists begin semi-autobiographically, her own life in the small town of Crooked River—with its endless cycles of mowing lawns and setting tables—was far too boring. No one could possibly be interested in what she had to say if she were the subject.That drove ... Read more

  • Under the Frenzy of the Fourteenth Moon

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    Parables are exercises in abbreviation. Like allegories and allusions, parables rely on more than the words on the page as they expand their relevance and reach. They call upon the tropes of oft-told stories, universal narratives, trim story back to its basics, and use familiar characters like those described by Vladimir Propp.A giant becomes an ogre, a young woman a desperate heroine, a child an ...

  • Crushing All Hope: Trying to Be a Foster Parent for Manitoba Child and Family Services

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    Telling the other side of the adoption and fostering process in Manitoba perhaps inevitably ends up questioning the failures of the government child care system. In this study, I itemize the difficulties dealing with the foster care system that ultimately led to my unsuccessful attempt to become a Manitoba foster parent.Like the impoverished child in the candy store window, both systemic and ...
