Issue 95: Painting, Plays, & Poetry

This special issue, guest edited by Montreal poet Robyn Sarah, features new work from poets as diverse in age and experience (the youngest is 18, and the eldest is in her 80's) as they are in poetic sensibility; some prolific, others returning to poetry after a lenghty hiatus doing other things; some previously unpublished, some internationally acclaimed.

** Also, this just in: Robyn's frank and delightful essay on what she looks for in poem, "Poetry's Bottom Line", in this issue has just been nominated for a National Magazine Award.

Also in this issue, a full-colour feature on Waterloo artist Shannon Reynold's Dramatis Personae series of portraits. In this series, Shannon works right at the intersection of word & image: each painting portrays (at 3/4 of real life size) an archtypal figure from literature (ie. the coquette, the dandy, the sage). The models were required to audition, as one would for a part in a play, for the painting and the results are both stunning and fascinating.

And finally - if neither poetry nor painting, maybe the play's the thing: Amanda Jernigan takes a look at 'poor theatre' in her essay, "You're not a Monster."
