Siteseeing by Ariel Gordon Paperback Book

Description: Siteseeing by Ariel Gordon Between February 2021 and March 2022, Ariel Gordon and Brenda Schmidt wrote a collaborative poetry manuscript, formatted like a call and response. Ariel intended to write about urban Manitoba, the city and its trees, and Brenda was to write about rural Saskatchewan and birds. Over the course of the year, the matter of place took over and the intentions branched and flew apart. They both wrote birds and trees but also moose and mushrooms, pronghorns and wild turkeys, and people making their way through it all. They wrote climate as it was manifested in drought-stressed trees and stunted crops covered in grasshoppers, in wildfires and wildfire smoke hanging over the prairies. They wrote home as they found it. AUTHORS: Brenda Schmidt was the seventh Saskatchewan Poet Laureate. Author of five books of poetry and a book of essays, her work has been nominated for a number of Saskatchewan Book Awards over the years, received the Alfred G. Bailey Prize for Poetry, and is included in The Best of the Best Canadian Poetry in English: Tenth Anniversary Edition. She now lives on the dry side of a hill in central west Saskatchewan where shes exploring the art of xeriscaping. Ariel Gordon is a Winnipeg-based author of two collections of urban-nature poetry, both of which won the Lansdowne Prize for Poetry. Gordon also co-edited the anthology GUSH: menstrual manifestos for our times (Frontenac House, 2018) and is the ringleader of the National Poetry Month in the Winnipeg Free Press project. Her most recent book is Treed: Walking in Canadas Urban Forests (Wolsak & Wynn, 2019).

Review "City and country, Ariel Gordon and Brenda Schmidt voice the extraordinary in the ordinary." - Trevor Herriot, author of Towards a Prairie Atonement "When future generations ask what it was like to live through the 2020s pandemic, this poetic correspondence [that] cawed, roared and hooted from either side of an impassable prairie must absolutely be pressed into their hands." - Joanna Lilley, author of Endlings "This thoroughly beguiling dialogue makes nature poetry freshly compelling. We are given a year-full of creatures, plants, weather, observantly described at a time of change--drought and flooding, dying elms, viruses, cellphone technology. Yet we are not made glum or panicked. The book makes us care. Were all in this together, coyotes, songbirds, tractors and a wild turkey roosting in a city tree." - Alice Major, author of Welcome to the Anthropocene "In this heart-to-heart conversation, poets Ariel Gordon and Brenda Schmidt document the broken beauty of a world in crisis. Rooted in place and powered by precise observation, these generous poems will speak to you wherever you do your own siteseeing." -Candace Savage, author of A Geography of Blood: Unearthing history in a prairie landscape Details ISBN1998779041 Author Ariel Gordon Pages 150 Publisher At Bay Press Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781998779048 Format Paperback Imprint At Bay Press ISBN-10 1998779041 UK Release Date 2023-10-25 Place of Publication MB Country of Publication Canada Audience General Publication Date 2023-12-20 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
