Rosamond, Madeline S. (1983- )
Rosamond, the youngest of two daughters, was born on August 22, 1983 to lower-middle-class socialist common-law parents in Kitchener, Ontario. Leaving behind a typically intelligent but socially awkward childhood, Rosamond is studying for her Master's of Earth Sciences at the University of Waterloo. Her thesis is not yet well-defined but involves something about nitrous oxide in rivers. Rosamond minored in English, and often finds themes from both departments in her work. Particularly interested in the survival of and in landscapes, whether mental or physical (wild or urban), she also flirts with such ideas as gender and cultural identity, energy and creation. She draws particular inspiration from her sister's works, Jorge Luis Borges, Milan Kundera, Salman Rushdie, Germaine Greer, and Octavio Paz.

Rosamond encourages everyone to marvel in the brilliance of her sister, Emily, at www.s-laughter.com/.

    I'm at a Big Ten school now, actually doing some work with Applied Geophysics but a little dissatisfied there. I've interviewed for a position in Geochemistry, actually, though my concentrations are in petrology/tectonics/paleontology. However, I'm really hoping for the position; the research appears fascinating.

    You read what came out of me on a very, very bad day. Now it's all right, I have many more possibilities, you know? I also have a secondary concentration in Studio Art and Design. So I've many things to consider.

    I've read many of your poems in the past two days and most of them are very, very good. I love your prose style, your imagery, your metaphors, your cynical attitude and condescending tone. You have a gift. I look forward to reading more.
