Poetry + Essay + Jazz Poetry

Kurt Trzcinski composes a poem suite upon visiting Glacier Bay Alaska.
David Miller collaborates with pocket gophers.
Garry Ward riffs on life and music.

KURT TRZCINSKI lives in Victoria on Vancouver Island, Canada. His work and studies as a biologist lead him far afield. With the mind of a scientist and the heart of a poet, his Glacier Bay Suite takes us deep into the intermingled reality we live in of personal/global, human/other than human, climate change/adaptation.

DAVID MILLER lives on twenty acres of cultivated wilderness surrounded by urban sprawl of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. His humorous essay on how to deal with pocket gophers without becoming a murderer is a reminder there are other ways of being with the abundant life around us.

GARRY WARD lives in New Westminster, BC. He is a self-described prairie boy who ran away from home to join the band. Fellow Traveller is a jazz poem in which he is  reader and musician, writer and composer. It's from his chapbook, Life After Midnight: a collection of jazz poetry.
