curated anthology of local poetry on the subject of “Poetry in Place.” She hopes to include a wide range of contemporary poets whose writing is ecologically-concerned and comes out of/refers to the area of southern Ontario bounded by the Grand River to the west and the tip of Lake Ontario to the east, and the land stretching from Guelph to St Catharines, including Hamilton, Kitchener/Waterloo, Brantford, and the Six Nations territories. She is keen to ensure a wide representation of poets, including but not limited to BIPOC poets and émigré-settlers whose experience of place in southern Ontario is informed by their varied backgrounds. The anthology will be arranged thematically around such topics as Land/Earth, Water, Trees, Birds, Wild Creatures, Plants and Flowers, Insects, Cultivation/Gardening, and Food. Each poet whose work is chosen for the collection will be invited to interview on their relationship to place, their spirituality or worldview, and their motivation in writing poetry; they will have some of their comments included in the final volume. If you are interested in being considered for this anthology, please send two or three relevant poems
