Tune in to "In Other Words" at 2:00 p.m. this Tuesday for an interview by Diana Kiesners with Karen Mulhallen, poet, teacher and Editor-in-Chief of Descant magazine.Karen will talk about her poetry, her scholarly work, and what it's like to have been at the helm of Descant for more than 30 years. She'll also discuss and read some of the poems in her latest collection, Acquainted with Absence: Selected Poems.
In his foreword to Acquainted with Absence, Douglas Glover writes:
This isn’t a book, it’s a keen and a lament. It’s words shimmering over the void. It’s whistling in the dark. It’s lusty, lorn, fearful, lonely, melancholy, defiant, ebullient, mischievous, loopy, solemn, comic, mysterious, fragile, erudite, and grand.Also on this year-end edition of "In Other Words": Kate Marshall Flaherty files a special report on Toronto poetry group Renaissance Conspiracy who meet every second Tuesday of the month at Sarah’s Cafe & Bar, 1426 Danforth Ave for a delightful one-two combination of spoken word/poetry readings and poetry workshopping.
