And I went on to discover more of her reporting and understand her impact on new journalism and also just continued to follow her cultural criticism over the years, which was so unique to her

A treasure forever

Hey, Bowie, thanks so much for posting this. And Jessica, for your words. She's such a treasure. And I'm just so grateful that she's leaving us so much in my Instagram feed. Somebody reflected on her loss by quoting her. And I just want to read did what she wrote. It's a quote from Joan. It's so timely

@JLMcMillan thank you ♥️

Jessica, thank you so much for sharing a bit about some of your Canadian heroes who have passed. I made a note of their names, and I really want to dig into and explore their work now, Canadian literature outside of like, like Margaret Outwood and oh my gosh, why am I spacing Alice Monroe? I'm not very aware of it, so I'm always trying to discover new writers and important figures from other countries
