Open Book Toronto article about Dragnet and my own... →
Monica Golding from Open Book Toronto wrote an article about Dragnet and me! My favourite parts:
Dragnet’s biggest initial challenge was figuring out the technology and making the eBook versions. Jeremy, who is bald, described it as a “tearing my hair out thing.”
Jeremy is currently working on a manuscript of short fiction called Airplanes and Bad Things Happening to Women. A friend of his...

Untoward Magazine is one of my favourite online literary magazines, and the editor I’ve spoken with, Matt Rowan, is a super cool guy, so I am excited to be featured! I previously had another story (“Nighttime...

My story, “Black Clouds,” as mentioned in my previous post, appears in Soliloquies 15. Not only is Soliloquies available as a print magazine, but it’s also now available on Issuu.com! Check it out here.

The Concordian digs my story "Black Clouds" in... →
The Concordian really liked my story “Black Clouds” in Soliloquies 15.1!
The fiction section features stories by Frankie Barnet, Forest Orser, Madeleine Lee, Jeremy Hanson-Finger, Alex Manley and Russell Helms. The selection is all good. Mostowski was right; this is a publication of quality. However, the standout piece was most definitely “Black Clouds” by Jeremy Hanson-Finger. His...

My story “Grandmother Two Tongue,” appears in Ottawa’s Front&Centre magazine #25. Buy here!
Grandmother Two Tongue slipped 60 years of needles into our veins with steady hands. Her uniform passed through a kaleidoscope of shades but kept its razor creases, her hair always the same mahogany sculpture.
“Spike this vein for me,” the doctor would say to Grandmother Two...

Sidney goes to the short story one on Tuesdays, Phillip goes to the poetry one on Wednesdays and...

Interview with rob mclennan for Open Book Ontario
Interview with rob mclennan for Open Book Ontario (read more):
rm:
How did you come to poetry first, as opposed to, say, fiction or non-fiction?
JHF:
I took a creative writing class in Grade 11 with Terence Young, a GG-nominated poet, in Victoria. He is my single greatest inspiration and wholly responsible for my realizing I had talent and that I should pursue creative writing. The way he...

My Story "Nighttime Isn't For Lovers" on Untoward... →
Check it out! I’m really happy with this one. It started life as a 1300-word sentence; now it’s a 1300-word sentence broken up with bullet points. But that makes it way more readable, so I’m happy.

Smilodon Even Though Your Heart Is Aching
If our cave-dwelling ancestors had been content to lie around eating soft fruits – assuming, of course, that soft fruits were readily available to be eaten in Pleistocene-era Africa – they wouldn’t have survived long enough to reproduce, and then where would we be? Sure, it’d be nice to imagine a sort of Eloi-without-the-Morlocks kind of existence of childlike art and song and beauty in an...

Broken Pencil Magazine reviewed my chapbook Saintliness/Slowdive, edited by Peter Gibbon for In/Words Magazine and Press, a year after I sent it to them. Cool!
This zine is two short stories by Jeremy Hanson-Finger in a cleverly designed little chapbook. Saintliness is white text on black paper, and Slowdive is the opposite – once you’re finished reading one story, you have to flip the...

Pith & Wry: Canadian Poetry will be published in October/November 2010. My poem, “Passover”, will be the final piece in the book, “an important position, not usually filled by a novice poet, but chosen in this case because of the subtle but effective use […] made of form” (personal email from the editor, Susan McMaster).
Your Scrivener Press will print a first...
