The Last Easy Speak Rainier Beach

March 30, 2018
Ryukan

It’s getting more difficult to find spaces that welcome poets. One that worked well for a couple of months is making other plans for the monthly night of poetry that we started in December 2017. We’re grateful to Jude’s for the run, even if it was shorter than we had hoped for, but we expect a good night for 98118 resident T. Clear for Monday, April 2.

Easy Speak’s most intrepid poet

T. CLEAR, a Seattle native, is a founder of Floating Bridge Press. She has been writing and publishing for nearly forty years. Her work has appeared in many journals including Poetry Northwest, Cascadia Review, Fine Madness, Poetry Atlanta, Cirque Journal, Seattle Review , Crab Creek Review, The Moth, Terrain and numerous anthologies. She is inspired by the infinite possible variations in color and light that she is fortunate enough to explore daily in her day job working in sandblasted glass. And she would much rather muck out the chicken coop than write a bio.

In the call, we stated: “We are looking for words that come from thoughtful reflection and compassion for the loss we feel for ourselves and this country. (Please no screeds.)” Still, we got many poems that were filled with righteous anger, on which we passed. The book features many poems that offer suggestions, pathways and even self-care tips for the new Winter in America. That very phrase “Winter in America” comes from Gil Scott-Heron, and was used by the editors as a sort-of invocation to Gil’s spirit and legacy. I
