It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Stephen Potts, one of our reviewers. Stephen was an outstanding poet, writer, scholar, and a cherished friend of many of us at Maple Tree Literary Supplement. MTLS, his friends and family fondly remember him.
The Toronto International Film Festival is celebrating the work of Gregg Araki at TIFF Bell Lightbox. His oeuvre intertwines themes of tragic romantic love and alienated youth with razor-sharp editing, music, and art direction. Araki’s tenth feature, Kaboom, one of the unquestionable hits of last year’s Cannes Film Festival, will have its theatrical release at TIFF Bell Lightbox on April 8. Other films scheduled include Three Bewildered People in the Night (1987), Totally F***ed Up (1993), Nowhere (1997), Splendor (1999), Mysterious Skin (2004), and Smiley Face (2007). Araki will also join TIFF Bell Lightbox Artistic Director Noah Cowan on April 9, 2011 for an in-depth survey of his career. http://tiff.net/filmsandschedules/tiffbelllightbox/2011/201102220050704.

Nostalgia is vicious; at least, it’s vice.
Its hours come contaminated with Loss,
And liquor—a killer (like Rilke)—kicks
The mind into coma—perverse preserve.

MAY, wife, speaks Cantonese (big city – Sang Wai) and English with a Chinese accent, originally from Hong Kong
I was soon to start work on my thesis. I had a job meanwhile, in a small hotel. It was summer. We had five empty rooms, it was a slow season. I suppose that's why the owner gave her the room for forty euros a night. The German couple was paying sixty, they'd also just walked in off the street.
