The Wolf That Wasn't
Farley Mowat's 1963 book 'Never Cry Wolf' changed public perception of wolves, portraying them as complex social animals, not just killers. The book remains controversial. While Mowat insisted it was non-fiction, critics have long alleged that he fabricated key events. The debate over its factual accuracy highlights the blurred line between narrative non-fiction and storytelling. #Canada #FarleyMowat #CanLit #Conservation

My spoken lyric video Prayer for the Blessed Order of Castrati is an excerpt from my upcoming novel Poor Man’s Opera.
Steven Mayoff (he/him) is a Canadian novelist, poet, lyricist and librettist living on Prince Edward Island, aka Abegweit, home of the Mi’kmaq for thousands of years before any of us settlers showed up. I am proud and humbled to call this island my home and grateful to share it with the First Nations community.

An early and insightful review of Poor Man’s Opera (Galleon Books, 2026) by Dr. Amy Tucker on her substack The Third Shore. Big shout out to Christopher Shoust of Lost Telegram Press, who helped get me this review and is actively looking for others for this book.
Let that sink in. One publisher is helping promote the book of another. That is true outlier community spirit and the rest of the publishing industry at all levels should be taking notes.
