” I am grateful for Haley’s excitement, care, and vision. + Thank you bows to Haley Lasché, an experimental poet and the wonderful editor of Concision Poetry Journal, a triannual online literary magazine, she started in “2021 by looking to promote work that excites her. + Thank you bows to Jacquelyn Zong-Li Ross, an editor at The Capilano Review for supporting the conversation-in-review project through its publication. + Thank you bows to Daphne Marlatt, beautiful person, poet, and friend, for talking with me!
+ Thank you bows to my community of women/women-identified writers for their generous, loving support, inspiration, and encouragement. + Thank you bows (continuous!) to you, dear reader, for the gift of your attention! Right now, as I write this sharing, I realize that I am delighting in beginnings-the idea of talking with Daphne Marlatt about her book Then Now, the coming to language of a poem, the introduction to Concision Poetry Journal, an experimental poetry journal-and where those impulses and sparks of attention lead-to an expansive conversation with a beloved poet, to a deepening relationship with the imagination of a poem, to a new experimental poet friend-Haley Lasché, to the possibilities of connection with readers. Read! “ Before, a Study of Suspension,” a poem in Concision Poetry Journal, Issue 2.2, Summer 2022. Read! On Then Now: A Conversation with Daphne Marlatt in The Capilano Review | See to see. With that, thank you for joining the conversation! Within the conversation, Daphne talks about not wanting to “tamper” with her father’s voice in the text of her book at another point, she says writing is “a matter of hearing, learning to hear the various levels in language.” This ethos informs our desire and commitment to leave the idiosyncrasies of our speech intact. So, we left the accompanying awkwardnesses associated with thought coming to articulation as is. We agreed that despite any wish to have been more or differently articulate in the moment, the meaning, awkward though its syntax may be, is clear. Kaboom!Ī special-to-me aspect of my conversation with Daphne, which unfolded during the editing process of our review-in-conversation, focused on maintaining the tone and energy of our live conversation once it was on the page. What you will read is an edited-to-two-thousand-five-hundred-word version of the twelve-thousand-word transcription of four recorded 20- to 30-minute meetings that took place via Zoom in November 2021 when Canadian poet Daphne Marlatt and I met to talk about the thinking behind and making of her most recent book, Then Now (Talonbooks, 2021). On Then Now: A Conversation with Daphne Marlatt, featured in The Capilano Review | See to see. You are most cordially invited to read: On Then Now: A Conversation with Daphne Marlatt, featured in The Capilano Review | See to see- column. And, beyond being in print, there exists the possibility of connection and communion with other writers and readers, who by the grace of the Poetry Gods, may shake hands and rub shoulders with my words.Īllow me to court that possibility of connection with you right now! Yes, being published is exciting, especially after the butt-in-chair love-labors of transcribing recordings and editing responses, whether those conversations are between two poets or between a poet and the world as it unfolds during a walk-poem. This is quite a week in a poet’s life-because a review-in-conversation I have love-labored over since November 2021 now appears in The Capilano Review, and a poem from The Long Now Conditions Permit now appears in Concision Poetry Journal. Perhaps the line of the abandoned Vallum, still visible in the landscape, continued to represent a boundary between different jurisdictions, and the gate arch marked its course through the civilian settlement.Hello from the middle of June, dear reader!
The Vallum ditch on either side of the causeway had been filled by the late 2nd century, and was then covered by buildings of the civilian settlement. The reuse of this block shows that the arch, though partly ruinous, was still equipped with wooden gate-leaves in the later 3rd century.
The block had a concave moulding and had been taken from a finely carved cornice, probably from the entablature (the horizontal mouldings above the gateway) of the gate arch. This latest surface was associated with a block containing a pivot-hole for the spindle of one of the gate leaves (the block has been removed to expose the original pivot-hole). Three layers of road metalling were found on the causeway the uppermost contained a coin of the AD 270s as well as earlier issues.
