Rich Brand

You have to give your art everything you can – I don't mean only writing, but studying other poets and poetics, thinking, reading what poets have written other than their poetry.

LINES FOR WINTER

“tell yourself
in that final flowing of cold through your limbs
that you love what you are.”

A full house at the wonderful Massy Arts Space, w/an extraordinary line-up, KYLA JAMIESON, TOLU OLORUNTOBA, ADÈLE BARCLAY, [myself], to celebrate the launch of dear friend/poet NEIL SURKAN’s newest from McGill-Queens UP, Unbecoming. A joyous exchange. Thrilled at the good fortune to have been able to go, support. Thanks to all who came (and bought books!). Special thanks to Neil, Stephen Collis, Lucas Crawford, & Tolu for reaching out, spending time, showing me the sights. Good company.
