Concrete & River: Larissa Andrusyshyn: A Poem

http://susangillis.blogspot.com/2015/06/larissa-andrusyshyn-poem.html

ON POETRY AND THE WRITING/READING LIFE. A PAGE FROM MY NOTEBOOK. POET, EDITOR, MENTOR. June 8, 2015. Larissa Andrusyshyn: A Poem. No one suspects the scaly-winged pick pocket. Night, dark with insect patter, proboscis—. A mouth like a straw that unfolds. Into the eyes of sleeping birds. The moth is turning a wound inside out,. Release in the orchid and tree bark. Stomach contents: grief and disaster. In the dark forests of Madagascar. A transient in imago;. Imagine the dry eyes of sparrows,.

ON POETRY AND THE WRITING/READING LIFE. A PAGE FROM MY NOTEBOOK. POET, EDITOR, MENTOR. August 28, 2015. Nyla Matuk: A Poem. First of the year, we’re snowbound, in debt. To the city’s surpluses. Humble strips of flashing. Discern corners between Prada and Burberry. Espied by lorgnette, stretched by silver mirror,. Or Mary’s soul magnifying our Lord. Elegance is a glam accompanist, a buttery scroll,. The distanced pace before a gauntlet’s dropped,. And a dish best served cold. August 20, 2015. In Universit...

ON POETRY AND THE WRITING/READING LIFE. A PAGE FROM MY NOTEBOOK. POET, EDITOR, MENTOR. March 25, 2015. SANDRA RIDLEY: A POEM. Priska Wettstein, courtesy of Red Edge Images. And liable to rapture. In the hours before dawn. We’re beckoned to the lake. Our salvage—shivering by the weeds. Revenant, we falter toward the good—. For the smallest amount of the most worthless thing. And with shy sweats. And the cold we’re night-blind by. Of a slaughterhouse—. Sandra Ridley is the. Author of three books of poetry:.

http://susangillis.blogspot.com/2015/06/my-first-poem-was-jacked-every-line.html

ON POETRY AND THE WRITING/READING LIFE. A PAGE FROM MY NOTEBOOK. POET, EDITOR, MENTOR. June 17, 2015. My First Poem Was Jacked, Every Line: Larissa Andrusyshyn in Conversation. SUSAN GILLIS: How did you first come to poetry- or how did poetry come to you? LARISSA ANDRUSYSHYN: My first poem was jacked, every line stolen, or fed to me by my mom for a father's day card, which you can see in the picture. My spelling has not improved. I think that the subjects that draw me are often a nice tangle of comic and...

Concrete & River

http://susangillis.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-poem-ive-read-dozens-of-times-over.html

ON POETRY AND THE WRITING/READING LIFE. A PAGE FROM MY NOTEBOOK. POET, EDITOR, MENTOR. April 16, 2015. A poem I've read dozens of times over the years suddenly appears as though I'd never seen it before. This is not unlike the effect of spring's first blossoms. Has the world ever seemed so charged? When the book fell open to "Elegy," I remembered this was the poem I'd been waiting for all my life. Translated by Robin Fulton). I open the first door. It's a large sunlit room. And makes the porcelain tremble.

ON POETRY AND THE WRITING/READING LIFE. A PAGE FROM MY NOTEBOOK. POET, EDITOR, MENTOR. February 5, 2015. Elise Partridge, 1958-2015. I first met Elise Partridge in the early 2000s. She was hosting a meeting of Vancouver's Poetry Dogs and graciously included me, at Stephanie Bolster's suggestion, while I was visiting the city. What an evening! Dear Elise, your answer is already here, and has been all along: in your own brilliant voice, in your poems and your life. Follow, poet, follow right. In collaborat...
