Frances McCue is not only reading at the 2nd Cascadia Poetry Festival at the closing reading, but also has turned in a fine review of the Force Field anthology of BC women poets.

Force Field

Force Field

Excerpt: “Touring the book was a pleasure. The collection of poems is arranged in alphabetical order by the poet’s last names — the fairest way of doing things, I believe—and each of the seventy-seven poets is represented with a photograph, a bio and several pages of verse.

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.
