Canadian poetry / ecopoetics / ModPoPLUS / new videos / week 10

two poems by Daphne Marlatt, along with videos, now added

by Al Filreis · July 15, 2020

See below for a list of and links to poems by Daphne Marlatt and videos accompanying them. These have been added to the week 10 syllabus of ModPoPLUS.

If you watch the videos, even before you read the texts of the poems as printed, I think you will be changed forever in your feelings about poetry’s connection to where we live, especially such a watery and water-dependent place as Vancouver BC.
