Thanks for doing the interview, Patrick. PB: I’m looking forward to it. AS: So, the thing that we’ve been starting with usually is just to ask people how they first heard about AIDS, if they remember the first they heard about it as a sort of general context. PB: I’m not sure if I actually remember the first time. I came out in 1981 in Winnipeg. So it was just at that moment when it would’ve started to be in the news, very soon thereafter. I remember coming across it in various mainstream news media. At the same time in Winnipeg, one of the things that was going on was, I think this was led by at least one of the gay doctors there, was to try and set up some kind of community health place for gay people. So, that was probably just a precursor to what was happening with AIDS. It’s the tail end of what was happening elsewhere in the world, but in Winnipeg it was a bit late. And so, I sort of conflate those two things together. I remember going to one meeting where they were trying to set up a steering committee for this new kind of clinic organization.

It’s noon. It’s the first bell of noon ringing loud from the cathedral tower. … Great shovelfuls of sound dumped in the grave of our activity. The sound fills up every space and every thought. … The future is blocked. The past is plugged up. Layer after layer of the present seizes us, buries us in one vast amber paperweight. Sealed under twelve skyfuls of the only moment.” — Leonard Cohen, Death of a Lady’s Man (1978) “Sit in a chair and keep still. Let the dancer’s shoulders emerge from your shoulders, the dancer’s chest from your chest, the dancer’s loins from your loins, the dancer’s hips and thighs from yours; and from your silence the throat that makes a sound, and from your bafflement a clear song to which the dancer moves, and let him serve God in beauty. When he fails, send him again from your chair.” — Leonard Cohen, Book of Mercy (1984) Table of Contents Abstract ii Résumé iv Acknowledgements vi Abbreviations viii Introduction 1 PART I: Conceptions of Silence Chapter One: “From the Performance Point of View”: Critical Conceptions of Creative Silence 30 Chapter Two: “Why did you stop writing?”: Poets Accounting for Poetic Silence 76 PART II: The Experience of Silence Chapter Three: “The Whole Breathless Predicament”: The Experience of Creative Crisis 121 Chapter Four: “Then let us start again”: Writing Out of Silence 189 Conclusion 288 Works Cited 301 Cameron ii Abstract This dissertation unites a diverse group of Canadian poets who all fell silent for a prolonged period in the middle of otherwise productive and successful poetic careers: P.K.
