The latest edition of
Five Dials, the literary magazine published by Hamish Hamilton, has landed in my inbox and it's filled with all sorts of goodies. You can sign up
here and it's free. This issue has a number of writers looking at London in light of its Occupy Movement, including a piece by
Daniel Swift that reflects on
Virginia Woolf's journal entries during the Blitz. There are also some great reading suggestions and excerpts from favourite books recommended by musicians, including a cookbook (in which you'll find out which vegetables to eat if you are angry and tense, and which to eat if you want to fuel productive creativity) and a funny piece that made me laugh, titled "The Needle and the Damage Done: What Is The Best Title For a Book On Knitting?" in which
Jenny Lord, author of
The Purls of Wisdom, enlisted the help of other writers in choosing a suitable title. I like "The Yarn and the Restless" and "Knit Gonna Happen" myself.
Another online magazine that I love to read is
Covet Garden which focuses on home design and features really beautiful homes of ordinary and creative people in Toronto. You can subscribe, again for free,
here. They also have a
blog that showcases local designers such as Toronto artist
Julie Moon who created this gorgeous ceramic poppy pin. Read more about her
at
this post.
