Marmot Bout Poster

The local organizing committee in Nanaimo is working hard to make the third iteration of the fest, April 30-May3, 2015, a huge success. They have created a poster for one of the lighter events at the Festival, the Marmot Bout. Named for an alter ego of the emcee, Graham Isaac, that sprung up at the last bout, THIS bout looks like it will be at least as fun as the one staged at CPF2 at the Spring Street Center last May.

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

Dec 4, 2023

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.
