Tune in Tuesday, October 20th, at 2:00 p.m. for an interview with Kate Marshall Flaherty about her latest collection of poetry, Where We Are Going. This is Kate Marshall Flaherty's third poetry book; her first two are Tilted Equilibrium and String of Mysteries. She has also published a chapbook, Unfathom, for which she won the 2006 Shaunt Basmajian Award. In the same year she was shortlisted for both the Pablo Neruda Award for Poetry and the Descant Best Canadian Poem. She has just finished participating in this year's Random Acts of Poetry, in which she "poemed" people in hospitals, cafes, parks, yoga classes, ESL classes, and in Parks and Recreation vehicles.
There will be a bit of reading, a bit of talk, and an excerpt from her upcoming CD. Don't miss it!
Also, we’ll take a sneak peek at a soon-to-be-launched CD called Tree House with poems by Ronna Bloom and music by Peter Dick. It’s a really wonderful collaboration, and an example of the kind of creative sparks that can fly when two compatible artists start to riff on each other's work. According to Ronna Bloom:
I have been struck by how [Peter Dick] hears and translates the poetry, so that what is reflected musically attunes to the nonverbal core of the poem .... He took the poems through his own musical and felt landscape, one that resonated with mine and generated a "how did you hear that in there?" amazement .... I notice, too, that when I read poetry while he plays, I read differently. Slower. More deeply. I don't know why. Maybe it's trusting someone to carry this trembling thing with me, gently or raucously, into the air in this new form.That's on In Other Words, CKLN 88.1 FM
