About

with apologies to Paul Ford

Ahead on Differential is the blog of Derek Godin (1988–): a Canadian writer and poet (mostly published by presses and magazines based in his beloved adoptive home of Montréal); co-host of a twice-monthly poetry reading series; unlikely Montréal lit-scene node; former independent film critic (founder and editor-at-large of the thoroughly unkillable Dim the House Lights); recipient of an MA in Film Studies from Concordia University that he has never used professionally; co-host of several dormant podcasts, which are primarily about movies; Mastodon instance administrator; tournament Scrabble player who aspires to experthood, however deluded a thought that may be; friend to mammals of all spots and stripes; person who likes dad rock and Diet Coke.
