A Weekly Dose of Ritallin is a curated selection of Greg Frankson’s original works as presented over two years on Here and Now Toronto. The A Weekly Dose of Ritallin segment cracked open Toronto with soulfully intelligent, locally invested and socially conscious poetry every Thursday afternoon at 4:20.

These poems share snapshots of an apocalyptic, exhilarating time in Canadian history through the lens of one of the nation’s most insightful social commentators. Ritallin’s poems vibrate on the page. The poems were initially heard on radio but re-reading reveals deeper meaning and subtler nuances that may have been missed.
