Parkdale plaques
Throughout 2012, as part of the Parkdale BIA's community garden initiative, four new historical plaques were created and installed in Parkdale.
My friend and incredible artist Joel Hentges did the graphic design, and I wrote the copy and chose the photos. I think they turned out really well, and it was so interesting to learn about Parkdale's history! You can find them throughout Parkdale sprinkled around the Queen and Brock area, but you can also check them out here:
This one is located on the South West corner of Queen and Elm Grove (by The Mascot).
This one is located on the North East corner of Brock and Queen, by an umbrella tree.
This one is in front of 1313 Queen Street West (South side).
This one is in the garden beside the Coffee Tyme where old men sit silently sipping coffee all day.
Wish I knew how to post the better quality versions of these on here, because I am really proud of what I wrote - I even slipped a couple of jokes in them. When I finished working at the BIA, I felt kind of bad about myself because they gave me a really wonderful opportunity to fill in as Executive Director over the summer, and my ol' self esteem issues made me feel like I was really incompetent, but whenever I see these plaques, I remember that I did do at least one good thing for Parkdale, and they'll be there for a couple of years at least. They don't have our names on them, but I know who made them! Next time you're in Parkdale, take a look!

Emily Anglin
A poem by Emily Anglin.
Material
When you
have swaddled your head in vermillion
linen to
block a glint that widens like a coo
into a dim
room striped with amber light;
when you
have lain below a sink, hooded by an apron of
mauve lace,
and peeped through eyelets at high panes
dappled with
yellow and lime;
when you
have sat on a bathing house step in the late-winter sun
and bundled
your brow in a rough wool scarf
steeped to a
sea green as the wind rushes;
when you
have leaned against the bleached stone lion that guards
the coast,
and wound yourself in sacking,
binding your
own wrappings
with twine,
as the gusts
lift past a scrubbed seawall—then,
set,
bonneted,
tied
and laid out
on the cool salt shore,
flat under
bright sun you can slowly tune
a white
light for shut lids to become.

About Tender Buttons
Tender
Buttons is a fusion of collage and flash fiction and was lovingly
created by Ellie Anglin. Each
full-colour booklet is numbered, signed and hand-bound by the artist, and has a
one-of-a-kind collaged book sleeve.
“After surviving
a mysterious and dark childhood, an emotionally stunted narrator struggles with
mental illness, self-injury, and to reconcile her queerness with her strange
spiritualism. Our deeply repressed and
simple heroine’s true sadness is only glimpsed at through frequent cracks in
the delirious, slavish narrative about her prized Button Collection. The
accompanying collages serve to open these cracks wider, giving a literal
glimpse of her true desperation. If you like flash fiction, collage, and strange,
sad women, Tender Buttons might be the one for you.”
Self-Published in Toronto,
Ontario in 2012.
76 pp. ISBN # 978-0-9879898-0-2,
$12
Tender Buttons can be purchased from Ellie at ‘zine and art
shows throughout the city, as well as at Art Metropole (1490 Dundas Street W, Toronto), or online at etsy.com/shop/ellieanglin

Hot Off The Press
These twenty tender booklets are all buttoned up, ready to go off to some publishers in the hopes that someone will help me to make more of these little Tender Buttons. They each have their own individual dust vest - not quite a jacket. I am very happy with how they turned out. Thanks to everyone for your support.

Two Women
My 100 word story that will be featured in the upcoming collection 100X100, published by LA's Marco Polo Arts Magazine.
Two Women:
They met working in the Margarine Factory –
Irene worked there from 1975 to 1990 and Helen from 1967 to 1992. They both
loved The Family Circus cartoons so they became friendly. Helen’s biggest pet peeve was when people
rode their bicycles on the sidewalk and would come swooping up behind them when
they walked home at night and would nearly give them their death of
fright. Irene was very honest and
considered even sarcasm to be lying. For the sake of economy they shared an
apartment together until in 1992 when Helen died as a flower does: petal by
petal.
