    Episode 112 Poetic Elements of Fiction with Frances Boyle
    Dec 31 2023
    Ottawa poet and fiction writer, Frances Boyle and I discuss the poetry of favourite novels and read excerpts from the novels. This is the fourth instalment of a thread that began in 2020 in which I invite a guest to discuss the poetic elements of a genre or type of creative work that is not classified as poetry. In 2020, I discussed the poetry of music with Subhraj Singh, in 2021, the poetry of film with Jennifer Mulligan and in 2022 the poetry of photography with Charles Earl.

This is the last episode on this thread. In this episode, I speak with Ariel about her practice of mudlarking. We read together from her collaborative poetry book with Brenda Schmidt, Siteseeing.
