We’re celebrating National Poetry Month 2020 with a series of interviews featuring new and forthcoming books of poetry: so far we’ve featured Rob Taylor in conversation with Francine Cunningham, Lorna Crozier (in two parts), and annie ross.
We’re also diving deep into the Poetry in Transit archives to share some of our favourite selections from this long-running program.
This week, a quiet moment of beauty brought to you poem by Gillian Wigmore‘s poem “Stellako,” featured in Poetry in Transit 2008/09
“Stellako” by Gillian Wigmore
swans on fraser lake beat the water, rising
enormous and unlikely, with hardly lift enough
to miss the highway overpass
black beaks streaming in the rain
