The closing of schools, businesses, the cancellation of the Olympics, Wimbledon and sport does not sadden me as much as the inability to be in <b>Arbroath</b> this historic weekend. I have waited decades to celebrate the <b>700</b><sup>th</sup> anniversary of the <b>Declaration</b> which signalled the rights of people to an independent nation. Scotland, like the original nations of North America, had been an independent nation longer than its colonialist English rulers when the papal petition was signed on April 6, 1320:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
‘<i>That crossing from Greater Scythia, via the Tyrhennian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and living in Spain among the fiercest tribes for many years, it could be conquered by no one anywhere…one hundred and thirteen kings have reigned of their own blood royal, without interruption by foreigners.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<i>We do not fight for honour, riches, or glory, but solely for freedom which no true man gives up but with his life.’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
That ‘kings’ should be chosen <i>by the people</i> was a concept born in Arbroath this weekend 700 years ago. Although I remain at home this weekend, my spirit will be in Arbroath, and Alba’s birth of social justice.<o:p></o:p></div>

The area around Exeter College (character Diana's 'New College' at Oxford uni) and the Bodleian museum next door; <i>and </i>2. the College's boat houses on the edge of Christ Church meadows.<br />
<br />
Those who know Oxford will recognise many of the filming spots. What surprised me as I toured the scenes from the 2018 series was how deceiving the shots were. For example, Diana rides her bicycle left past the entrance to the Bodleian museum, but then chains it up two blocks behind her at Duke Humprey's. She walks across a 'square' to her lecture (but the doorway is right behind her).<br />
<br />
It's great fun though to identify the very place where the camera must have been as Matthew Goode was standing, or Teresa Palmer was running.<br />

It is, I imagine, what Oxford may have been like during its formation - filled with religious scholars use to quiet study, rather than tourists teeming the town.<br />
<br />
On this trip, the outbreak of Covid-19 closed my workplace, but before I was able to return home, I was able to revisit the still discoveries of my twenties. I strolled the ancient banks of the Thames, disturbing the peace of the mating geese nearby.<br />

<br />
Filling my lungs with the Spring rain and magnolia blooms, I marvelled at how calming a field of daffodils or a slow river of life can be. These 'silent waters we are led by' are peaceful. Still. Eternal. While sickness and death fills our streets, life is reborn through the waters, the rain, the amniotic river of life. Here I return. Here I am brought to peace; a reminder that in every ending, there is a new beginning.<br />
<br />
A great (x4) grandfather of mine, Rev. John Wesley, walked here too. Once a student of Lincoln College, he gave song waves to scripture, the beginning of the Common Book of Prayer for methodists, all by the silent waters of Oxford.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>'Share.' 'Be thankful.' 'There are those less fortunate.'</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How does this make one feel when you <i>cannot</i> give?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When a mother cannot buy food;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">when she cannot clothe her children;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">when she cannot find work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What worth has she then, when the need is real?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">'It is better to give than to receive,' said the man.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The woman on the street looked on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If it is not better to receive than what are they</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">in poverty, those who have been left desolate</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">because of war or migration; violence or</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">racism?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">'It is better to give than to receive,' she heard.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She looked around her empty house,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">bare floors and cupboards;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">tea, some rice.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Holes in the walls,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and the socks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She was not a giver.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Is it not better to <i>receive</i>? Is there not courage,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">hardiness, a resilience in asking?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Acknowledging there is need.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That without receiving one might starve;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">their children will never know self worth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This Christmas, know</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">that it takes spirit and strength to receive.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">floors like a thick jelly, and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">nine years of wallpaper</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">a mossy flower</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">yogurt violets</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">orange rinds</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">thick bruising cornflowers</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">drooping off of the walls like a</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">boneless used car man,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">swinging his hot air,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">arms over room</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and silky carpets.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Because of the damp, the water rising</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">was undervalued,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">cleaning, filling and reclaiming what</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">once belonged to it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Allowing glue and nails and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">lino to reconnect with their earth,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> ancient descendants of</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">plant and rock and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">wood they were, and became again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Because of the damp, the croft, walls</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">slow moving seascapes were valued,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">noticed,</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I had an epiphany this week: I am fearful
of following my heart. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">After 20 years of presenting research at conferences
the same way: preparing the method, analysing the data, and presenting the
findings in a powerpoint, I was tired. Uninspired. I wanted my participants’
voices to be the centre of the research, to have their authentic words be what
people left remembering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">No more boring powerpoints. This time, I
was going to represent <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">their</i> findings
entirely in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">their voices</i>. I was going
to write my entire paper in narrative, a story of their world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I spent weeks on the writing. It was more
difficult than I realised, like exercising and expecting a muscle you had never
used to perform. I revised again and again. I admonished myself for breaking
back into the same old expository form that I was trying to shatter. Then it
was time for the conference presentation, presenting these voices, in an
unconventional narrative, to colleagues I wanted to belong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I had not thought about how to convey the
same voices to a traditional academic audience. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">No powerpoint</i>. Would I simply read the stories? Shouldn’t something
visual be up on the screen? How long would it take to read the 15 page paper
aloud? Wasn’t that going backward to the 1950s? Just reading?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I panicked on the day. I had <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">nothing</i>! The chair asked me to load my
powerpoint. I said I didn’t have one; I was just going to read the narrative.
She looked at me with scepticism. I felt fear. My session was scheduled at the
end of the day: 17.30. Surely no one would be there? It would be a good time to
experiment with this form. Why not try it? What did I have to lose? Aren’t I
always asking my own students to take on Dweck’s ‘growth mindset’? Who was I if
I could not even risk modelling the mindset: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Just risk, try something new; learn from the failure.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">More and more people arrived for the
session. People came that I did not want to fail in front of: the editor of our
national journal, a professor from our largest rival university, the chair of a
research group I wanted to be part of! Why were they all there? For goodness
sake, why did they have to come to this one? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I was announced, and began to explain the
paper I was about to give. I explained it in expository form! My face felt hot.
It was red. My chest tight. I started to read from the paper, but then realised
there was no framework for them to put it in – only the words. I explained
again. My face went crimson. I lost my place. I searched for the next section,
the next narrative. I continued to read, to stutter. I looked at my watch and
my time was almost up. I looked at the chair. She shrugged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I gave another explanation and tried to sum
everything up, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘well, that is a taste of
the narratives within, and the important thing here is that…’</i> I stopped
embarrassed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">It had not gone well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Are
there any questions?</i>’ the chair asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">An older professor, not sure of his name,
but everyone seemed to know him. Quantitative I think…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA">‘Where
are the statistics about the students? Your title says you were going to be
presenting on students</span></i><span lang="EN-CA">!’ he accused me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">My face went red again. I was taking it all
in. He didn’t like it. I could tell he didn’t like it. No one in the room said
anything. There was stunned silence at the assault. At the question? At me?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Humiliated publically, I stumbled
awkwardly, ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">well, it’s a narrative, I
mean, it’s presented, or written, as one narrative. There are no statistics on
students. It is just the voices.’</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Okay,
that’s all we have time for at the moment</i>,’ the chair said. Either saving
me from further humiliation, or admitting defeat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Hurt, I retreated to a table at the far
side of the room. I wanted to cry, but simply pretended to be busy. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I have ruined my career</i>, I thought, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">what will these people think of me now? Why
did I do this?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I went over and over the session on my way
home, and none of it good. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I should have
done this,…if only I had said this…</i> In the end, living through the failed
attempt made me realise what my own students must feel. They want to belong as
well, and yet I have far less to risk than themselves. If I cannot reflect upon
this, and overcome such adversity, why in the world would I expect them to?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Why did I hate myself so? Who is more
important? A room full of respected strangers, or my own heart?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I went for a walk that evening, and
happened across a set of stain glass windows in the lady chapel in Bath Abbey. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6aEm52RBy5U/XVluPUay4kI/AAAAAAAAL2A/F2nM29uGUVErsDtwT44gtan8CSOHAb1SgCLcBGAs/s1600/ChapelStainGlass.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="720" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6aEm52RBy5U/XVluPUay4kI/AAAAAAAAL2A/F2nM29uGUVErsDtwT44gtan8CSOHAb1SgCLcBGAs/s320/ChapelStainGlass.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I sat and continued to reflect upon the
day. I looked up at the windows. In them, was a familiar reformation scene
(even though the windows were not created until the 20<sup>th</sup> century).
The King’s guard or soldiers look as if they are ready to seize control of the
church (the knight has his hand on his sword; there are keys with the sword
between), and the priests are standing on the other side of the altar with the
‘word of God’ open in defence, golden slippered feet slightly off the ground in
the stars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The caption below states: ‘In
memory of Sydney Adolphus Boyd…faithful guardian of this church.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<!--EndFragment--><b><u></u></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">It must have been courageous indeed to
stand up against armed men in defence of the church as you believe it should
be. You could have been hanged, burnt at the stake, your very church and all
you have worked for desecrated. I have always believed this to be the very
epitome of integrity. And yet, on this day, looking at that window, I thought, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">But why should there not be change, once and
while? There must have been an underclass who suffered under the church as
well. Why and what are these men guarding? Why should the people not have a say
in reforming their church, their own spirituality?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">It struck me that there are men guarding my
profession as well. They stand with ancient ways in defiance of difference and
opposition as well. And these are the men I most fear. I always thought it
would be the soldiers I would fear, taking away my church. But as I sit here
tonight, my church lies within my heart. It is the traditional guardians I fear
more. I fear that they are not open to new members; that myself and my
divergent ways are unwelcome.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I fear the opposition to the path I feel,
in my heart, is the right way (for myself, if no one else.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">In the end, following one’s heart may be
more fraught with fear. Yet, that is why the path less travelled is so
rewarding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">In the weeks to come, this series will
reflect upon those children’s stories that have guided me in my life. Perhaps
the guidance is not always what was originally intended, but a message has
assisted me, nevertheless, in the telling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28.899999618530273px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
What first struck me in this unusual book of poetry is that it wrestles with art in more than one way, providing colour pictures of seven paintings, seven photographs, and two drawings as well as the poems. These colour images set between the texts make for an appealing, if quixotic book. The reader gains a sense of fullness as they move through the pages, the images playing with the reader’s impressions, and interacting with the poems. This book is both chimerical and suggestive, the lines of poetry sometimes suggesting visions.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28.899999618530273px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
Kara Ghobhainn Smith is not a simple person. Smith was the Chatham-Kent Writer in Residence for 2016. In addition, working in more than one realm, she is an award winning university teacher, a book review editor, an author of two academic texts and a memoir as a hockey mom, a poet, and a blogger. She is also a devoted wife and a mother, living in the Chatham-Kent district Southern Ontario.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28.899999618530273px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
Smith is to be admired for what she has done, working in multiple languages, exploring history and culture in North America and Europe. Her work ‘in the real world’ seems to invade her writing appropriately. She appreciates art as a human expression. She writes involved poetry.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28.899999618530273px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
When human beings first began to make art, it was not immediately appreciated as something separate from the utilitarian and ceremonial vessels it adorned. In fact, image-making was understood to be a transfer of mystic powers that were interwoven with day-to-day life and rituals. It took thousands of years for art to be separated from the daily lives of ordinary people. Smith appreciates this, looking backward in the way of an archaeologist, but drawn forward in contemporary exhibitions. She draws upon ideas that paint an older function of art, while weaving her poetic inspiration with descriptions of contemporary, local paintings.</div>

The images she creates are ethereal. There are several poems that evolve with ripe, unusual imagery, use of breath, and juxtaposition (Where Rhinos Fly, Flats♭ and Sharps♯, I’m growing things. A baby and vegetables).</div>

Smith demonstrates her skill in using this combination to enrich both the painting and the poem. Yet, it is not only by interpreting the visual arts that Smith demonstrates her own connection with the process of creation.

One sees a theme in these poems. I found the title of the book evocative. The Chatham-Kent area is resplendent with crows, suggesting part of the reason for the title. While a gathering has poetically been called ‘a murder of crows’, perhaps where large numbers proliferate most other species simply vacate. Crows are drawn to urban centers, using their ability to communicate combined with problem solving to out-pace other species, dominating the area. In the fields of magic and art, crows are credited with mystical importance, much of it associated with dark deeds on All Hallows Eve.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28.899999618530273px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
First Nations consider crows to be Keepers of Sacred Laws, a Police force in the natural world, or a Trickster that warns you to beware of deception. Indeed, if Crows have a weakness, it might be their affliction for collecting, their thievery of shiny objects. Science has recently proven the crow is smarter than the average bird – its forebrain organized into clusters rather than layers – the size of its brain compared to body mass distinguishing it among bird species. Yet, Chatham-Kent is not distinguished by large urban centers, which leaves one asking, what is it that draws crows to the region? How has it become known as Crow County?</div>

You will not find the answer to that question in this book. A glance through this book suggests Chatham Kent also has a number of important artist galleries that feature the work of important artists. The poet is not speaking of classic paintings but contemporary art shown in local galleries. She writes about her impressions of a variety of paintings at openings for exhibitions. These facts might suggest a different part of the answer to how the title for this book was arrived at, but simple answers are often not sufficient to tell us why such a reference was created.</div>

There is much to admire in this collection. Smith speaks to specific exhibitions in May, September, October and November 2015 in Chatham-Kent. She includes poems about images shown in local galleries in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, and August 2016. Her social life must be very busy! Throughout this books, she makes references to writers, gallery curators, several species of birds, architecture, the strife of working in education in the past several years, seeing older relatives reflected in her son, the development of her child’s social mask, being a foreigner, wine-making, exotic foods, music, being Canadian, foreign cities, and the making of art. Her poetry, and her personal operation in this world, seem to exist in so many places at once!</div>

There are some rough edges in this collection that slice like paper cuts though. Those slices are a collection of annoyances that add up to something larger, an over sight. I admit to being a stickler for expressing the important truths. It bothers me to find there are inconsistencies with a story that presents itself as a truth. The first poem and painting in the book suggest Smith has tried to provide an answer to the issue of crows in the title. It faces a painting by Leonard Jubenville, who created a snowfield inhabited by crows gathered <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">on A Patch of Grass, </em>with a tree and fallen snow fence.

Her poem seems to assert the proper order of things, including the inherent supremacy of plant and animal entitlement to exist in their natural habitats. The problem is that the list of facts she supplies is wrong. Crows existed in North America before settlers arrived, but were found only in the east, their population growing and spreading west with European colonization. In addition, Gladiolus may have appeared in settler gardens, but they are native mostly to Africa with just 10 of 260 species found in Eurasia. What’s more, though corn was developed from a wild grass called teosinte in Central Mexico about 7,000 years ago, it could not have arrived in the Chatham-Kent region until after the retreat of the Ice Age glaciers some 9,000 years ago.<img alt="kara-smith" class=" wp-image-413 alignright" data-attachment-id="413" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="kara-smith" data-large-file="https://sharonbergblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/kara-smith.jpeg?w=255&h=381?w=147" data-medium-file="https://sharonbergblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/kara-smith.jpeg?w=255&h=381?w=147" data-orig-file="https://sharonbergblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/kara-smith.jpeg?w=255&h=381" data-orig-size="147,220" data-permalink="https://sharonbergblog.wordpress.com/2017/02/17/the-artists-of-crow-county-by-kara-ghobhainn-smith/kara-smith/" height="381" src="https://sharonbergblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/kara-smith.jpeg?w=255&h=381" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; float: right; font-family: inherit; height: auto; line-height: 1; margin: 0px 0px 1.2em 30px; max-width: 50%; padding: 0px;" width="255" /></div>

Another example of those paper cuts is found in several titled works (e.g., ‘The Canadian’ in Eight Movements) and a few untitled poems (e.g., “She could tell you were English”). I reread those pieces, several times, in an unsuccessful attempt to decipher their meaning. I simply could not find a satisfactory resolution to my questions. Then there is the error in possibilities presented when she says, ignoring the time frame for either gardening or fashion:</div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Paper Reunion</span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> is a rich eye-catching anthology of
poems and narratives from Ontario’s seasoned writers, and well-worth a trip
down Ontario’s literary lane. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Big Pond
Rumours Press editor, Sharon Berg, of Sarnia, has assembled a cast of writers
out of the well-known Phoenix Workshop. Berg’s own glittery lines and sexual graveyard
of automobiles evoke Ontario’s James Reaney’s ‘cars with ruby red behinds’: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Envisioning
the 1960s men using their unrequited energy to fuel the reconstruction of a ‘midnight
blue’ or red car with ‘submissive’ curves, so eloquently captures the trapped
lives of the husbands in her lines. Their physical exhaustion used for the re-capture
of lost love:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“We have both stepped in and out of our bodies<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">with our arms crooked for love.”</span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> (Berg, p. 15)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Similarly,
Marja Jacobs’ ‘<i>Fifty-five socks’</i>
(p.24) is one of several working narratives, and this one, I thought, was
particularly appropriate at Christmas, and in this world of global migration.
It captures beautifully the incredible resilience of newcomers over poverty.
Set in rural war-time Ontario, the ballad details a mother re-knitting, and
then selling, her bridal bedspread into 55 socks to sell for wheat and eggs, all
that her family must live off of for the Winter months in her new country. This
poem alone could be Ontario’s, “Gift of the Magi”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As
writers, we go to other worlds, and make connections with the smallest of
fields, to produce our craft. Julie McNeill’s ‘<i>The Paper Flag of the Poet’</i> provides a marvellous metaphor for the
poem, and its “first line/an invisible passport/ into the country of our
loyalties.” (McNeill, p.31) Writers like the Phoenix group in Paper Reunion are
the cruise ships to foreign borders. No, you don’t need a passport to travel
there, but isn’t it wonderful that, in this world of super-speed headlines:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Some languages are never foreign<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">the long lines dancing with the short,<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">stanza break and pause.” </span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">(McNeill, p.31) ?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
