  Preview article about The Gull by Beverly Curran for The Japan Times
Marlatt, who has been interested in noh ever since she took a course in Japanese literature in translation at the University of British Columbia in the 1960s, participated in the workshop and found Emmert a fine teacher.
The purpose of Marlatt's current trip to Japan is to give her an even clearer feel for the shodan, the musical passages that form a noh play, as she continues to build the text.

 UBC Student - Prose - Negotiated Identities
Marlatt indirectly comments on these differences in language games when Ana writes in her journal that women "among themselves" do not "speak as they do in a mixed situation." In situations with men, women's discourse is "only an element of response" (106) to men's discourse, not an element of women's agency and initiative.
Marlatt's story of women struggling with language in a patriarchal society raises many questions, partly because the novel adopts a non-linear time sequence, and partly because she avoids offering solutions to the dilemma of women's identities.
Marlatt chronicles Annie's awareness of her body, her consciousness entrenched in the patriarchy, conditioned on the approval of males — on how males look at her.

 Steveston: Daphne Marlatt and Robert Minden
In addition, Marlatt and Minden have rethought their decision to interleave poems and photos, and have, instead, created two separate but connected stories — poetry and pictures that evoke their own rhythms and then speak to each other of their connections.
As Marlatt recalls, "There was something in Steveston which drew us, over and over again, and which our work attempted to enunciate — something under the backwater quiet, the river hum of comings and goings, the traffic of work, that was ‘shouting’ at us to tell it."
Daphne Marlatt, who has spent most of her life living and writing on the West Coast, has played an important part in creating an alternative poetic line.

 Lesbian Self-Naming in Daphne Marlatt's Ana Historic
Daphne Marlatt has written that to become "aware of th[e] dialogue on the many fringes" of "white, middle-class, heterosexual, Anglo-American/Canadian" culture — to "listen.
Now a historically contingent vehicle for lesbian self-presentation, the text abandons the pretence of being a novel, a fictional heterocosm in the heterosexual tradition, and becomes instead an autofictional text, a blending of the discourses of fiction and autobiography which (re)presents Annie/Daphne's achievement of a lesbian identity outside the boundaries of "normal" society.
In a powerful analysis of the effect of lesbian writing on the traditional "division between writer and reader," Warland argues that in lesbian love poetry particularly the patriarchal construction of the reader as a viewer — a voyeuristic spectator for whom the poet describes the activities of lovers — has been "rendered obsolete" (134).

 Narrative in the Feminine by Joanne Saul   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Drawing on a substantial range of complex theoretical materials, Knutson develops an intriguing argument about the challenge that Marlatt and Brossard pose to what Knutson calls the 'masculine generic' - by which she means a privileging of the male universal that has severely limited female agency at the level of narrative.
At the story level, her text is focalized through a group of women rather than through a singular dominant male 'I.' Like Marlatt, Brossard uses intertextuality actively to recontextualize both canonical and non-canonical works and to foreground a [+male] cultural heritage and its set of symbols and codes.
Non-experts in the field of narrative theory will appreciate Knutson's careful and cogent approach to her subject as she reinforces her argument about why the historicizing and contextualizing of narrative theory is important both as a critical and a political task.
