A 24 part piece from his Selected Poems and the same-titled book from 1987. For Black History Month. Hard to read such a long poem so I did my best, especially amid a cat battle near the end! Enjoy :)

In which I recite a Francis Ponge piece on a match in French and then intro Marguerite and her talk and she chats about origins and forms and then reads a segment from The Endless Garment. Enjoy!

I love this devastating poem. Read from the Ecopoetry anthology. I highly recommend his books. He died far too young.

In which I talk about James Longenbach’s vital book The Resistence to Poetry and then conclude with a random poem about weird beauty from Paul Vermeersch’s New and Selected. Enjoy!

I chat about how we met and read her bios and notes and then Barb talks about poetry and specifically the glosa and ends with her poem Cello. Enjoy!

A ten minute recitation from 1856. Also can be found in the Ecopoetry anthology.

I apologize to Alden Nowlan who never lived in Nfld, read a silly cats poem inspired by a question from Lynn, and talk about where we met then intro her and she chats and recites a poem called A change in travel plans. Enjoy!

1959 long narrative poem on visiting a nearly abandoned village that can be found in her selected poems called Country without Maps.

1946-2020. Wilderness man and poet of ecology. A rare voice.

I chat about absurdities and time and read a bio and then Kat talks influences, grief, mentors and reads the longer poem Haunting. Enjoy!
