What is the current that makes machinery, that makes it
crackle, what is the current that presents a long line and a necessary waist.
What is this current.
What is the wind, what is it. Where is the serene length, it is there and a dark place
is not a dark place, only a white and red are black, only a yellow and green
are blue, a pink is scarlet, a bow is every color. A line distinguishes it. A
line just distinguishes it. Gertrude Stein - 1874-1946 // Main Sources [additional sources for individual visual poems are

24: Kate Siklosi, Gregory Betts, & Nasser Hussain Thank you to the Ontario Arts Council Recommender Grant
for Writers Program for funding So Many Silenced, So Many Unnamed. Thank you to
the recommenders: Invisible Publishing and the New Quarterly. And a huge thanks
to all the feminist activists, artists and writers of the past, present and
future who are trying to make a world that is just and equal for all.  For those who are able to provide aid and support, please
donate or assist your local women’s shelter, organizations
fighting for gender equality, to world
wide feminist organizations, pro-choice groups fighting for the autonomy of
women over reproductive rights, such as the Abortion
Right Coalition of Canada. If you’d like to support an Ottawa based organization, I
suggest Cornerstone for Women,
which provides emergency housing and other support locally.
Thank you for your interest and support. I am honoured
and grateful. |
