The finger on the pulse of all things Geist. Geist is a magazine of ideas and culture in which readers, writers, photographers and cartoonists discuss theories of North, Leonard Cohen’s suits, Indian hobbyists, ectoplasmic photography, Mountie postcards, Margaret Atwood's hair and more of the weird and wonderful from the world of words. The Geist Newsletter takes all of that, adds literary news and events from across Canada, writing contest updates, advice and tips for writers and special subscription offers, and throws it into a curated email delivered to your inbox every Thursday. Below is a sample of some of our favourite essays, reviews, poetry, short stories and other pieces of miscellany from geist.com—a taste of the newsletter yet to come. |
