Always a wild openness

to the left and right of our path,

a humming in the high grasses.

What is it holds us to our course?

A pagan recklessness in my past

makes me conservative.

Today when I was reading on the balcony

a bee buzzed my knuckle, close enough

for me to feel the wind of his wings,

and all day long I have gone on feeling

the wind of those wings.

from Robyn Sarah’s Pause for Breath, Biblioasis, 2009

We added new content to the website today. In fiction, Ray Smith’s Serenissima, a story we published in The Salon des Refuses issue. From his novel Century, it works as a short story as well. Kerry Clare has recently reviewed Century as part of her Canada Reads Independently series. To read her thoughts on this masterful work, please go here.

We have also added three poems from Robyn Sarah’s Pause for Breath in the poetry section. Further information on Pause for Breath can be found here.
