×Barbara Baydala from Ladner, BC, writes A Family of Poems I’ve recently been contemplating a collection of writings about my father and have realized through assembling these poems for Writers Radio that I can’t write about my father without placing the two of us amidst our family in all its many guises. Vancouver poet Colette Gagnon revisits her memoir-based poetry, further exploring the use of form. This suite of five poems centres around the grief and loss of her brother Phil and includes an excerpt from a childhood narrative entitled Lure. Thematically, these are haunted voices-- of dream, reverie, elegy, foretelling. Go to WritersRadio.ca and listen to the current episode.

Radical Acts of Love How We Find Hope at the End of Life Janie Brown has been an oncology nurse, first in Glasgow, then Vancouver for four decades. She is the founder of the Callanish Society which, through programs and retreats, creates a healing space for people who have been irrevocably changed by cancer. “With Radical Acts of Love, Janie Brown demonstrates the power of a book to transform, in fact to turn things upside down. She turns death into life, despair into hope, sorrow into joy, and pain into love with these twenty astonishing encounters with the dying. We all know somewhere in the back of our minds that a deeper understanding and acceptance of death is supposed to release us into an even fiercer embrace of life—this wonderful book made me, for the first time, truly feel and believe it. Unforgettably wise, kind and wonderful.” Stephen Fry Order Radical Acts of Love from your library or favourite bookseller.

meditations on art, myth, archaeology, ceremony, and death Come, anguish. Help us manage / the plainsong of an open shore, / its language of high tide rich and close, / close and hard to see.

Gambit, a word from chess, struck our producer, Ingrid Rose, as appropriate to the daring and wide-ranging work created recently by authors from our growing Writers Radio community. Each program in this two part series is scheduled for three weeks instead of two while our producers take a summer break: Ingrid is off to France and Carole is getting a new hip. PART 2 Elizabeth Cunningham, Look to This Day, Poems for Doris McCarthy “ Look to This Day: Poems for Doris McCarthy is a rich ekphrastic dialogue between poet Elizabeth Cunningham and painter Doris McCarthy, [1910-2010]. Poet Jenna Butler wrote about this book, " McCarthy’s paintings, and her cottage on Georgian Bay, became a refuge to Cunningham during the weary years of the pandemic; they also became profound connection points between two deeply creative women, important links between shared views of the more-than-human world and its exquisite beauty. Look to This Day is the most engaged sort of homage: it is an intimate and intelligent exploration of the very ways of seeing and holding space in the world that underpin McCarthy’s work.” Kevin Spenst, A Bouquet Brought Back from Space, Anvil Press, 2024. Kevin writes of this book: I live in a bachelor suite in a building named the Stanley Park Manor in Vancouver’s West End...A Bouquet Brought Back from Space contains a crown of sonnets dedicated to my friend Jeff Steudel, who also lived in this building decades ago, written immediately after I’d learned of Jeff’s passing. My book takes inspiration from Rilke in several ways, one of which is through Jeff’s fascination with Rilke and how he wove his words and ideas through his own poetry. Rilke became more and more important to some of the book’s overall themes of angels, isolation and love. Susan Dambroff, A Chair Keeps the Floor Down, Finishing Line Press, 2021 These poems are dedicated to the children Susan had the privilege of teaching, and who taught her. Written after retiring from a rich career as a special education teacher in San Francisco, as a way to honor each heartbreak and celebration she encountered, and to move into the next more spacious journey of her life. As a teacher she would corral the children into loops of captivating play just as the poems do as they witness taking the journey out of the classroom into the lives of their families and communities. Alison Goeller, Frozen in Love (A Will Sargent Mystery) Alison Goeller, who lives in Provence, writes short stories and mystery novels. Frozen in Love is the second of a four part series featuring Will Sargent. "The idea to write a series of murder mysteries set in the fictional village of Wilburne, Vermont, and featuring a local locksmith (Will Sargent) and his bookish wife (Poppy) was inspired by my uncle Bill Deming--a real locksmith-- and his wife Phyllis, both long-time residents of the village of Shelburne, Vermont. In Frozen in Love a restaurant manager is found dead inside a meat freezer. When Poppy discovers an unusual smell emanating from her husband’s brand-new winter gloves, a dangerous journey to solve the murder ensues."

Gambit, a word from chess, struck our producer, Ingrid Rose, as appropriate to the daring and wide-ranging work created recently by authors from our growing Writers Radio community. This will be a two part series; each program will run for three weeks instead of two while our producers take a summer break: Ingrid is off to France and Carole is getting a new hip. PART 1 Cathy Stonehouse: Dream House, A Poem, Nightwood Editions, 2024, short-listed for the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Award (2024) Cathy writes about this reading: "Dream House emerged after the experience of visiting my mother in a nursing home in the UK, where I grew up, and emptying her small house, in a matter of days...the book begins with an evocation of the journey to the nursing home, and, by association, from life to death. A poem about my mother and one about my grandmother then follow. This long poem is therefore an attempt to both celebrate and question my inheritance from them as daughter, grand-daughter, poet and ultimately mother to my own daughter." Tariq Malik: Blood of Stone, poetry, Caitlin Press, 2024 Tariq has written: "In Blood of Stone Tariq Malik revisits Kotli, the 1,000-year-old city of his formative years in the province of Punjab, Pakistan following partition. Marked by the traumas of dislocation and migration, the city and its inhabitants share secrets and longings, chronicled and imagined by Malik as he gives voice to a personal history that precedes his experiences as an immigrant in Canada." Chad Norman: Parental Forest, poetry, Ace of Swords Publishing. 2024 "In Chad Norman's poetry, the world is created and re-created with great attention to details and beings involved...where everything is connected and interchangeable - a person, a plant, a bird, a tree. Each poem sounds like a secret recipe for medicine, the healing effect of which the author knows and generously shares with us" Halyna Kruk, fellow poet & professor of European and Ukrainian baroque literature, Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. Cornelia Hoogland writes: "I'm pulling together a new collection of poetry with the working title Snowing Inside. Does Snowing Inside evoke an image for you? Some of the many poems go back 20 years and I'm choosing the ones that want, need, to talk to each other. I'm creating a conversation. Plus, my life has changed. How is something the book will take up. The thing I've noticed about the newest poems, which is that, the closer I am to the terminus of my life, I'm 70, the more vivid are the long connections to my beginnings: a trajectory with a philosophical bent. Here's a line that might underscore the book. We were taught there's a heaven above, but not how on earth to live in between." All the books in this Writers Gambit series are available from online retailers and may be ordered from your favourite bookstore. Happy summer reading!

Consider the World Tree her mantling green our swaddling gown dismantled an iron word falling felling, disrupting old growth's primal ground... Susan McCaslin Canadian poet and literary scholar Susan McCaslin lives in Langley, British Columbia. She is the author of seventeen books of poetry and ten chapbooks. In Consider, (Aolus House, 2023), Susan explores her evolving experience of the figure of Jesus in relation to the wisdom teachers and activists of diverse spiritual traditions. By turns mystical and playful, provocative and insightful, many of the poems have ekphrastic inspirations. In my conversation with Susan we focus on the connection between mystical experience and activism which I sense as themes of the book. We also discuss Susan's role as editor of Walking Into God by E.D. Blodgett which was released in spring 2024 by Farleigh Dickinson University Press. Susan also reads from Walking Into God. Carole Harmon, Writers Radio producer edited by Susan McCaslin Celebrated Canadian poet, E.D. Blodgett's final book of poetry Author of over thirty books of poetry, and winner of many awards, Ted Blodgett's Walking Into God was written during his struggle with terminal cancer. It was published posthumously, produced as a labour of love by his friends, fellow artists, and contributors Susan McCaslin, Sheila Martineau, and Yukiko Onley. "What interests me in poetry is the interplay of language, the page, and silence. Heaven falls out of words because possibility is in the page, another kind of heaven; I wonder if that's the only heaven we are given to know in life".

Atma Frans lives in Gibsons, on ancestral Sḵwx̱wú7mesh territory that is part of Canada’s Sunshine Coast. She grew up in Flanders, a region of Belgium which was continuously invaded and occupied since Julius Caesar first conquered it in 52 BCE, and which only recently gained cultural and political autonomy. Atma’s childhood was marked by intergenerational trauma: her parents were children in the Second World War, her grandparents in the First. Yet her work also pays tribute to another side of her Flemish heritage — the spirited perseverance Belgians are known for in spite of their troubled history, as well as their firm determination to enjoy the good things in life.

The life of Great Salt Lake is inseparable from our own. We gather to bear witness to her beauty. We gather to grieve. We gather to create beacons of possibility. We gather to increase our tenderness towards brine shrimp, microbialites, and winged citizens of the air. We gather to carry each other through spells of despair. We gather to revere all that is vital and alive... We continue to honor a great intelligence deserving of legally defensible personal rights, as we sing back to a ever-singing and sentient entity. Nan Seymour, Great Salt Lake Vigil Poet, teacher of writing, and community activist Nan Seymour lives near Great Salt Lake, which is in peril, as are inland saline seas around the world—from climate change but also from human generated polution and environmentally unsustainable practices which threaten their existence. Dams on tributary rivers divert flow of water to the lake, which is shrinking. Sequestered toxic chemicals from industrial farms and industry which have settled on the lake bottom create dust storms of pollution as the lake recedes. Wildlife are forced to leave this habitat which is on the North American flyway for migratory birds. Beginning in January 2022 Nan Seymour has spearheaded a daily vigil for the lake, corresponding to the seven week period of the Utah State legislative session. The vigil began in 2022 as one woman, Nan, living in a trailer on Antelope Island, supported by fellow writers and friends. It has grown in number, voice, and action to include other writers, fellow citizens, scientists, environmental groups, Indigenous voices, and occasional voices from abroad who have written about this vigil which is less a protest movement than a determined community statement of intent to save the lake. n 2024 the vigil "walked the waves" around Utah State capital building, morning and evening, sometimes joined by law-makers. Irreplaceable, a collective long poem of over 500 voices which has resulted from the vigil will be published in 2024. coming in 2024, Beloved Water Body, poems by Nan Seymour Nan's first book of poetry, Prayers Not Meant For Heaven, was published as a chapbook by Toad Hall Editions in 2021.

"I walk along a corridor in the Museum of memory" writes Onjana Yawnghwe. Onjana Yawnghwe's grandfather was the last ruling head of Shan State in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. He was the first president of unified Burma, which was set up as a hoped for democratic state. In 1962 the first military coup of what is now the longest running civil war in modern times saw Onjana's parents fighting in the jungles of Burma, where her older brother was born. The family fled to Thailand, where Onjana was born, and finally immigrated to Canada with nothing but a pile of suitcases on a luggage cart. Growing up Onjana was protected from her turbulent past by her family but suffered, nevertheless, the trauma and exclusions immigrants face. As an adult she revisits her turbulent ancestral history, distilling its essence in verse. Work in Progress Homes: A Pictorial Archive of Memory Onjana Yawnghwe is also an illustrator as seen in this graphic memoir; view excerpts are on her website, Onjana Yawnghwe.com.
