@how2speakpoetry@SpokenWebCanada@ubcfccs Congrats Karis on the work yr doing on this project. Seeing those reel-to-reels twangs my heart. I still have the Wollensak (and the tapes) that I used to record the ‘63 UBC Poetry conference.
@DaleMartinSmith reads from his new book https://t.co/NJ4HA2B9OE. Easy flowing clear language including an interesting bifold of Falkner’s Shreve into Dale’s own CanAm mix. Check out _Flying Red Horse_ from @Talonbooks.
@ryanfitzpublic@Talonbooks@itsakirby Nice to in fact hear Ryan build his new poetry city through his mixmaster of Vancouver-Calgary-poesis. Careful and intelligent poems from the balcony of another city. Congrats Ryan and Talonbooks for this Rocky Mt trucking.
"Outlandishly playful and extravagantly difficult"—@canadianlit reviews @fjwah's Music at the Heart of Thinking (https://t.co/8bAPYhhHTI): https://t.co/29mnWEEYtg
Music at the Heart of Thinking by @fjwah (published @Talonbooks) is a finalist for the 2021 Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize. This book is poetry that works through language as the true practice of thought and improvisation as the tool that listens to and notates thinking.
