  • Review of the Response of Weeds: a Misplacement of Black Poetry on the Prairies , by Bertrand Bickersteth (Edmonton: Newest Press, 2020) 88 Pp
    Review of The Response of Weeds: A Misplacement of Black Poetry on the Prairies , by Bertrand Bickersteth (Edmonton: NeWest Press, 2020) 88 pp. paper. The dedication is intended for anyone who has had to answer to various versions of "where are you from?" In "Grown in Alberta", identity relies on the image of a "simulacrum", such as an image or representation of someone or something, an unsatisfactory imitation or substitute. In this instance, the poet turns to Michigan, where he asked the question but in Alberta, by comparison, he will always be asked. So his attention shifts from the hand, to the map, and then back to the hand. He turns to the Canadian prairies and his dream of an empty grain elevator. He recounts how "a landscape was hinted in its spaces." In "So What" which passes as a cheeky answer back, to "So, where are you from?", the poet acknowledges "I still mean here." Harlem farming was based on displaced aboriginal people but in Alberta it pertains to "the North on top", thus "(upside down)". Nomadic musicians reflect the seasons: "We read and reseed in spring". "Now I'm Looking, Now I'm Unaware" is a poem in which the comparison with Michigan is distinctive because the poet possesses "the would-be echo", the half-rhyme "stuck" and "struck" are contrasted, and he concludes "I am comparing this field/ to one in Alberta/ burnished gold and flat." In "Harlem Farming", the poet catalogues the landmarks in New York City, until he reaches the conclusion held in suspense, "North of Harlem/farming/in Saskatchewan and Alberta//Obviously".

    Thursday 25 April Session A 13:00-14:00pm a way—Living Performance, Location: Theatre 2 Panel Chair Chinedum Muotto (University College Dublin) Adeena Karasick, “Scenes Screams Screens and Semes: The Salomaic Elasticity of the Page and the Stage” Abstract: Situated between the expanding boundaries of text and textuality, sound experiments, sonic spaces, and performance, Scenes Screams Screens and Semes: The Salomaic Elasticity of the Page and the Stage will be part talk / part performance (with screen projections), contextualizing Salomé: Woman of Valor, my 2018 Spoken Word Opera which revisits the apocryphal figure of Salomé through a Jewish feminist perspective. As a book (published in an English/Italian bi-lingual edition by University of Padua Press and an English-only libretto by Gap Riot Press in Toronto) and a performance piece, it negotiates a range of revolutionary intersections – not only in the integration of styles and traditions, between poetry, midrash, Kabbalah and pop culture, highlighting polyphonic textures and rhythmic wordplay; but how this manifests differently on the page, stage and screen. Further published in multiple languages (Italian, Bengali, Arabic), what happens in the space of translation? Using Salomé: Woman of Valor as a focus, this presentation will unpack some of the nuanced play between visual and acoustic space, and with attention to both form and content, expose how narrative is always mutiperspectival and slippery; ex-statically palimpsested – celebrating the porous aporia between the vois, vuel, voile, veux, voila; hearing and seeing, seeing and saying, essaying as Walter Ong says, “I see what you say. But what we are seeing is not what we are saying”.

A thick fog rolls in over Shivering Heights. The river overflows, the sky is streaked with toxic green, parasites proliferate in torrential rains and once safely classified species – humans included – are evolving and behaving in unprecedented ways. Against this poetically hostile backdrop, a biologist fights to understand the nature and scope of the changes transforming her own body and the world around her. Ten lush and bracing linked climate fictions depict a world gorgeous and terrifying in its likeness to our own.
