Conversations with Lynn Johnston
Canadian cartoonist Lynn Johnston (b. 1947) is best known for creating the comic strip For Better or For Worse. This widely acclaimed strip debuted in 1979 and ran until 2008 before being reintroduced as reruns. It chronicles the lives of the Patterson family and, more specifically, new mom Elly Patterson, as she tries to manage a household and family. For Better or For Worse is celebrated for its relatable portrayal of everyday family experiences and, notably, for the way the characters age in real-time, adding depth and authenticity to a narrative readers return to again and again. This book, presented in sequential order, offers a collection of interviews with Johnston ranging from 1980, shortly after the debut of her best-known work, to a conversation with Kate Beaton and Raina Telgemeier at the 2014 Toronto Comic Arts Festival, to a new, unpublished interview with editor Jeff McLaughlin conducted in 2023. Many of the early interviews were published in Canada and are presented to US readers for the first time. These interviews explore the evolving narrative of For Better or For Worse, including the introduction of a gay character—a historical moment in comics—in the early 1990s and the death of the beloved family’s dog. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1994, Lynn Johnston has wrongly been overlooked by comics scholarship. This book seeks to establish her in the comics canon and offers readers an all-encompassing study of the creator and artist behind one of the most enduring comic strips still being published in reruns.

Lyn Hejinian, The Proposition
Lyn Hejinian is considered one of the most important avant-garde poets of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Beginning with five poems written from 1963 to 1965, The Proposition collects Hejinian's previously uncollected works from 1963-1983 in one unique volume. The individual early works curated in this volume broaden the existing published collections of Hejinian's works, showing Hejinian's play with form, visual language, and linguistic experiment before the poet's move to project orientated writing practices. With a new Preface by Lyn Hejinian, and five essays by prominent critics in the field, the volume offers both a new collection of Hejinian's poetry and an important scholarly resource for students, scholars, and readers of contemporary avant-garde writing more widely.
