“How to swim past it, years after terror— The “How to swim past it, years after terror— The island lodged in the brain’s cold fjord. Remoteness of where her son died half explored. Absences she makes herself face for raw. Glimpses of him, shards assembled before.” From UTØYA by John Barton in EVENT 48/3 (see the full poem at event magazine.ca)

On the EVENT Blog: To Reach Each Other With Love, On the EVENT Blog: To Reach Each Other With Love, Rob Taylor Interviews Shazia Hafiz Ramji: “Ports are places where visibility and invisibility are crucial. I couldn’t help but notice the opacity of containers, the supposed transparency and clarity of water, the Internet in the sea (huge cables under the sand!), and all the other ways that our lives are shaped by the ocean...” see the full interview at eventmagazine.ca

On the EVENT blog: Hannah Macready Interviews Curt On the EVENT blog: Hannah Macready Interviews Curtis LeBlanc, whose new book of poetry “Birding in the Glass Age of Isolation” was officially released yesterday. “I’ve always had this intense reverence for the past. I wouldn’t call it a longing, because I’m happier than I’ve ever been... But yes, I revere the past because it’s where I came from and it’s what shaped me... I find the best poems I ever write come from ruminating on a past experience, eventually stumbling on some observation or realization that feels to me profound or at least somehow significant.” Read the full interview through the link in our bio and make sure to pick up a copy of Curtis’ new book from @nightwood_editions
