In this interview, award-winning poet, Farah Ghafoor talks to Linda about Shadow Price (House of Anansi), shortlisted for the Trillium Prizes this year (check out our social media for pics from the event!). Since Ghafoor invites her readers to pay closer attention to our immediate biospheres, Linda does just that – opening with observations about the natural microcosm of which she is a part (yep, squirrels are mentioned).


This is a very smart collection, that traverses subjects as far ranging as economics to the history of trees. Ghafoor invites her readers on that journey to remind them that they are not passive consumers but making decisions every day that highlight we have more power than we think -- and it all begins with where we focus our attention. Other highlights:


  • Trillium Prize Book Awards (2:46)
  • Jenny Odell's How to do Nothing (6:00)
  • Passivity, passive voice, perspectives that imply passivity (8:00)
  • The importance of the past to our future(s) (15:30)
  • Guy Debord’s The Society of Spectacle (22:50)
  • The Labubus (22.35)
