Excited to play a small role in this sound, poetry, & astronomy collaboration. I’ll represent The Quebec Writers’ Federation at this bilingual International Observe the Moon Night event hosted by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Montreal.

In 1997, Dean Irvine of Scrivener spoke with Anne Carson on the telephone. On the heels of her 1996 Lannan Literary Prize win, Carson discussed anthropology, Heidegger, fragments of classical manuscripts, and patronage in Canadian arts. Read it now in 2025 at scrivenerreview.com/archive.

Thrilled to have a poem in @scrivener1980.bsky.social ‘s Summer Feature.
A long, narrow poem, ‘Still Life with Shadows’ by Susan Robertson.

Friable soft yellow
faded to fawn—
three daffodils
left to dry
in a small brown bottle
that once held 
tincture of rose
gifted to you
by your niece
for anxiety
after the news
rest on the desk
next to your mother’s diary
held together
with a rubber band.
