Thank you for joining us for our discussion of poetry by poets.
This month we each chose a book of poetry to read, but ended up delving more broadly into poetry as well. We also wrote a poem as a team! Poets covered include Katheriea Vermette, Dorothy Parker, Charles Bukowski, and Robert Frost, among others.
In This Episode We Mention
National Poetry Month
The League of Canadian Poets
Modest Mouse – Good News for People Who Love Bad News (Track: Bukowski)
The best ever group poetry exercise
Come On In: New Poems by Charles Bukowski
The Hatred of Poetry by Ben Lerner
river woman by Katherena Vermette
The Portable Dorothy Parker by Dorothy Parker
“This River” – NFB documentary by Katherena Vermette
The Princess Saves Herself in the This One by Amanda Lovelace
“[in Just-]” by e.e. cummings. (Poem recited by a CLEVER LOOPHOLE FINDER in my grade 11 english class, satisfying the 8 line requirement)
“Spring and Fall to a Young Child” by Gerard Manley Hopkins. The poem Trevor foolhardily tried to recite from memory, getting MAYBE 70% of it
“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost
In the Clearing by Robert Frost (the last collection of poetry in his lifetime) “The Draft Horse” poem first appeared
On Poetry by Glyn Maxwell (Book where the “Deck of Cards Poetry Idea” came from)
**Speaking Crow at Millennium Library with Steve Locke**
