April 23, 2014
Ryukan

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

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. Susan Musgrave, the editor, is a poet with a great sense of choosing poems that seem to present the essence of each poet’s work…”

Sam O’Hana on How to Support Working Class Poets

Sam O’Hana on How to Support Working Class Poets

When I said that what’s good for general society is also good for poets, I’m talking about a series of cultural opportunities where a much wider stretch of people are allowed to take the opportunity to become writers. I came back from a conference last week where I presented some research on the demographic aspects of the New American poets. The poets that were born and came to maturity in the early to mid-20th century were beneficiaries of broad national scale longevity gains. This [includes] things like pushbacks against tuberculosis, against polio, against poor nutrition and infant mortality. These are gains that were made by the medical and scientific institutions, but also by general prosperity, by making more food available to more people and making that food shelf stable for longer. So, when you talk about what might make it possible for poor people to do more creative work, you could start by saying well we should just give people more money, but the fact of the matter is that plenty of people already have the wealth they need, they just don’t actually have any time.
