Idleness … miracles… caroljmatthews.wordpress.com/2023/06/04/idl… after reading Carol’s think-abouts I always go back to her art at the top with a richer appreciation.

@hinganai Frog. Blade. Bend.

Even in the midst of hot dry summer there are marshy places, holding moisture for everyone who needs it. In the quiet green. A breath held. A breath released. Nothing more perfect than this. #ALittleBeautyEveryDay #lekwungenterritory #NorthernPacificTreefrog #frog #蛙

Goodbye Stan. Your keen poetic heart and warmth remain with us.

@how2speakpoetry @SpokenWebCanada @ubcfccs Congrats Karis on the work yr doing on this project. Seeing those reel-to-reels twangs my heart. I still have the Wollensak (and the tapes) that I used to record the ‘63 UBC Poetry conference.

This marks a major milestone for the UBCO @SpokenWebCanada team. In our recent meeting, the research team brainstormed some ways of celebrating the tapes, the donors, the lab members who’ve worked on digitization over the past few years. Stay tuned! 🎉🎉🎉@ubcfccs

@stephenscollis I agree. Excellent choice.

Our Vancouver window is a waterfall.

@DaleMartinSmith reads from his new book youtu.be/8HLhVBneku8. Easy flowing clear language including an interesting bifold of Falkner’s Shreve into Dale’s own CanAm mix. Check out _Flying Red Horse_ from @Talonbooks.

@ryanfitzpublic @Talonbooks @itsakirby Nice to in fact hear Ryan build his new poetry city through his mixmaster of Vancouver-Calgary-poesis. Careful and intelligent poems from the balcony of another city. Congrats Ryan and Talonbooks for this Rocky Mt trucking.

@rrrwong @thrillandgrace @dlylyly @JenSookfongLee @haamyue @innercitykitty @evelynlau Thanks for the tweak Evelyn.

Coming soon!!! Warmest congrats to @ryanfitzpublic from #Talonbooks!

"Outlandishly playful and extravagantly difficult"—@canadianlit reviews @fjwah's Music at the Heart of Thinking (talonbooks.com/books/music-at…): canlit.ca/article/all-wh…

Music at the Heart of Thinking by @fjwah (published @Talonbooks) is a finalist for the 2021 Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize. This book is poetry that works through language as the true practice of thought and improvisation as the tool that listens to and notates thinking.

"Like [Jack] Spicer before him, Wah proves that in the right (write) mouth the poem itself might be the best critical tool we have": @arcpoetry reviews @fjwah's Music at the Heart of Thinking (talonbooks.com/books/music-at…): arcpoetry.ca/2021/03/24/mus…

I’ve shared this poem on @canadianlit’s website before, but here is the print version and pinch me if I’m dreaming, but I’m beside Fred! 🥰 @fjwah

@isabellawangbc @canadianlit A pleasure to be beside you, as always.
