From Eileen Duncan:

North King County/South Snohomish poets are looking for new members for our poetry group. We are poets who write seriously but don’t take ourselves too seriously, and want to hear and be heard, provide and receive honest and compassionate feedback, and hone poems for publication as well as for art. Timing would be once or twice a month, M, T, or W evenings. For more information, please contact Mike Johnsen or Eileen Duncan.

    Dear Mike & Eileen, i might be into this—i am leery of groups in general and am a poor critic of other people’s poetry. i know what i like but seldom know why. how are you selecting members? should i send you something or just show up somewhere w some work? i’m usually attending a reading most mondays, so too wednesday is popular what w Breadline & some other venues. Tuesday evening is probably best for me. Larry.

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

The Ridge is a poem in 20 parts, a meditation on a geological feature of Quadra Island, a large island in British Columbia, just north of the Strait of Georgia, and thus the Salish Sea. But the poem is also a meditation on what’s happening on the island and on the planet we share in what’s been described as devastating imagery. I would add that it’s a meditation on the human species as well, at this time in the early Anthropocene.
Robert Bringhurst is the author. Trained initially in the sciences at MIT, he makes his life in the humanities from his home on Quadra Island, where he’s worked in poetry, Native American linguistics and typography. An officer of the Order of Canada, former Guggenheim Fellow and winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence. He’s our guest today to talk about The Ridge. Robert, thanks for your time and hospitality.
