Lit Dick Intermittent Award laureate Margaret Gunning

Lit Dick
Lit Dick is proud to present Canadian novelist Margaret Gunning as today's Lit Dick Intermittent Award laureate for her impassioned exposĂ© of the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins's secret life. Click on the poet's name here to discover what Gunning unearthed online and from her artistic intuition to bring to light a side to Hopkins that had been only suspected by aficionados and which is still technically unproven.  

Gunning is the author of two published novels -- Better than Life, the suspenseful tale of a quirky extended small-town Canadian family, and Mallory, the story of an adolescent girl struggling to find herself during the blossoming of her sexuality -- and a third novel, The Glass Character, about the life and times of silent screen comedian Harold Lloyd, for which she is currently seeking representation and a publisher.
