"<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The only thing that frightens Gloria Barkley
anymore is spiders. So much so that her Coquitlam clay studio is equipped with
a special trap to keep them from running over her feet. But this poet and sculptor
uses her fear to create artistic spiders, because spiders as metaphor intrigue
her: they show up both in her poems and as figures she fashions from clay...</span></div>

discovered she was allergic to 95 different foods and food additives, ranging
from wheat to caffeine, nitrates to sulphites. And much in the same way she
transforms her fear of spiders into art (which she wryly names after food
additives), she has turned her long narrative of frightening hallucinations,
feelings of non-reality, anxiety, depression and something like the flu —
together with the attempts to treat her symptoms — into an impressive book of
poems, entitled </span><b style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Water Window Mirror</b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">..."</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span">A good time was had by all at Gloria Barkley's launch of her new book, </span></span><i><a href="http://wattleanddaubbooks.blogspot.ca/2013/10/book-launch-water-window-mirror-by.html" target="_blank">Water, Window, Mirror</a>, </i><span class="Apple-style-span">on Saturday at the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;"><a href="http://artscouncilnewwest.org/" style="color: #cca111; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank" wrc_done="true">Arts Council of New Westminster</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span">. Gloria herself was a little pained by her tumble down a flight of stairs only a few days before, but as the photos will tell you she was in her element, nevertheless.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks to all who attended, and to everyone who pulled together to bring Gloria's work to fruition. And thank you, Gloria, for <i>Water, Window, Mirror</i>, and for your grace and goodwill!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">That was how I
started a blurb for the back of Gloria’s book. But the much larger question
is:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in that fractured, hallucinatory state,
how could anyone carry on a normal life<b> </b>– and do it for twenty years?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve known Gloria
for a very long time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I heard and
marvelled at her story when she first came to the Kyle writing group. It was an
extraordinary story of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">survival </b>– there’ve
been<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>many stories of survival shared in
our writing group, but Gloria’s had to be the strangest. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">For two decades
she raised a family, ran a household, gained an art degree, led a richly
creative life <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>– and was never sure if
she, her children, or anything in the world around her could be trusted to be
real.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">She told us of the
hair-raising adventures in altered reality that could come not from a drug
trip, but from eating a hot dog. She told us of the mystery that eluded doctors
for all those years, and how the mystery was finally solved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US">We said, “Gloria,
you have to write about this. You need to publish it. People need to know.</span>” And
because she is a poet, Gloria decided to tell her story in poetry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And it’s poetry that faithfully reflects
those twenty years of a bizarre, fragmented existence.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">If you need
further evidence of Gloria’s extraordinary talent for survival, a couple of
weeks ago she tumbled down twenty-one steps of a tiled staircase. And here she is
today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In these spare, unsettling poems, moving seamlessly between terror and unexpected beauty, Gloria Barkley draws us into that fractured, hallucinatory world. Line by line in stark, fragmented imagery she strips the experience to the bone.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Born in 1926, Gloria Barkley spent her early years on her family's fruit and vegetable farm near Penticton, BC. She attended Vancouver School of Art, now Emily Carr University of Art and Design, from 1964 to 1968, and subsequently studied creative writing in various west coast colleges and universities.<br /><br />Her poems have appeared in anthologies and magazines such as Event and Canadian Bookman. Her chapbook Stemwinder, featuring poetry, art, and anecdotes celebrating life in the mining town of Hedley, BC in the late 1930s, was published in 1995 by Wet Sickle Press.<br /><br />Today, Gloria hand-builds clay spiders in her Coquitlam, BC studio. Each spider is named after a food additive.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These poems
disturb and delight with their synesthetic surprise; quietly remind that the
writing of a well-crafted little poem requires a long, arduous journey.
Imagists’ poetry and Neruda’s </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Book of
Questions</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> come to mind. Thought provoking and invigorating, Barkley moves
beyond arresting metaphor to visceral conflation. The sheer physicality,
brutality, ironic beauty of Barkley’s language is her own.</span><br />

is able to describe her breaks with reality. Her struggles and subsequent

<span style="color: black;"><i>Water Window Mirror</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> by Gloria Barkley is the poetic rendering of a decades-long struggle with madness derived from allergies to food and food-additives. In a world where nothing could be counted on to be real, where even inanimate objects had minds of their own, Gloria raised three children, sought for and discovered her own creativity, and healed herself, with key helpers along the way.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Casey Wolf is the author of numerous speculative short stories, several of which were recently collected as<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0981065805/ref=nosim/strangehorizons"><cite>Finding Creatures & Other Stories</cite></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>by C.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wolf’s stories represent a uniquely Canadian approach to fantasy: where others write about the astronaut hero, she writes about the father who is left behind; where others write about planetary conquest, she writes about multiculturalism and the respect for alien life; where others write about revenge, she writes about reconciliation; where others write stories filled with sound and fury signifying nothing, her stories quietly engage the reader in the real lives of ordinary people—who become extraordinary because they have imagination, perspective, courage—and above all—integrity.</span></div>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yet, unlike a lot of CanLit, her stories are never depressing or dry. The speculative element makes her stories both more interesting and, in some strange sense, more real than other Canadian literature exploring the same themes. Consequently, I really wanted to ask Casey about her writing, and how her settings, themes, and characters reflected her Canadian upbringing. She graciously agreed to this interview.</span></div>

<span class="a10"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal;"><i><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 13pt;">With this collection, Kernaghan inhabits that strange netherworld, astraddle both yin and yang, one foot in the fierce daylight of knowledge and reason, the other in the dark mysteries of myth-ologies, the absyssal wood—whose “shadow is always there/dark subtext, dissonance…” Her sly words, fevered dream visions and lurking rhythms dance the reader a merry chase down peculiar paths, where there is sometimes only a “thin light/shining a long way off/like a summons.” Poetry should always, to some degree, be about the uses (and misuses) of enchantment, and Kernaghan has touched something deep and visceral with these verses. You will read them once, then, in the middle of the night, wake suddenly, shivering, and need to read them again. Eileen Kernaghan neither lights a single candle nor curses the darkness—she swallows it whole and then sets it on fire.</span></i></span><i></i></span></div>

<span class="a-size-base review-text" style="box-sizing: border-box;">I first encountered Kernaghan's work when she submitted a beautiful story called "Dragon-rain" to an anthology (Magic) that my daughter Morgan and I published in 1995. The story is the last one in the book and, if I remember correctly, it received an honorable mention in the Year's best fantasy and horror. I wonder if she sent me this book to review on the strength of that prior connection.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Be that as it may, I was delighted to receive it. Tales from the holograph woods is a slim volume containing 42 poems in four groups: "The dark gardens of the zodiac," "A dance in four dimensions," "Spells and ancient gramaries," and "Out of the midnight forest." There are also two framing poems that are not included in any of the four groups. The acknowledgments page is ambiguous, but appears to imply that all of these poems have been previously published elsewhere, including one in Dreams and Nightmares, long ago.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The first poem, "The dream," sets a tone of reverence, carries a weight of myth, and is meant to be read slowly, or so it strikes me. It's an appropriate beginning for a book full of such poems.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The next poem, "Re-Incarnate," includes the phrase "the dark garden of the zodiac," from which the first section of the book takes its title. It's funny, but the last four lines of this poem appeared overleaf from the main part. And I kind of think the poem is stronger if you stop at the bottom of the page.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I really like this part of the next poem, "In Turing's garden."<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />In dim undergrowth<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />the stirring<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />of vast ambiguous animals<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />And isn't that exactly the kind of thing we will face when we apply the Turing Test to things we encounter off world or in the lab? I'm really not sure what dark gardens of the zodiac are, because several of the poems in this section are unequivocally science-fiction poems. Then again, they do have a mythic feel. Science, myth, and magic are commingled by Kernaghan in many of these poems. Another example, from "Deus ex machina"<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />This is the final garden,<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />the place of logical exhaustion<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />where time narrows to the last trickle<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />in a dried-out bed.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Here, she uses a literary term to link the writing process to the cosmos in terms both mathematical (elsewhere in the poem) and mystical, leaving us to wonder whether she is really writing about gardens out in the universe or gardens inside our heads. Or possibly descibing a relationship between mental and physical worlds.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />In the next section of the book, "A dance in four dimensions," most of the poems have some explicit reference to dance, although the references are used differently. Dimensions more than four could express the different aspects of dance presented within this suite of poems. Some of the poems also refer fairly explicitly to dimensionality.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />From "The idea of order in a Chinese landscape"<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The Emperor of China<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />kneeling at the still pivot of the universe<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />designs one small pavilion<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />to hang halfway between the earth and heaven<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />My favorite in this section is "Broken syllables," in which translations of remnants of ancient Sumerian poems are used to express the inexorable effect of time on human endeavor. Yet the fragments retain their own beauty and power; illustrating another aspect of dimensionality.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Part three of the book isn't really about spells, or at least it is not mostly about spells. It could just as well be said to be about dream, because almost every poem in this section refers to dream or is about a dream. A few of them mention spells or actually are about spells, but to my mind the title of the section is the most opaque of the four.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I feel on my throat<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />your insubstantial touch,<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />your chill sweet breath.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />would seem a reference to a dream even if the poem didn't say so two lines later. (The Poet-Chansonnier's song from Wild Talent).<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />By contrast, in "Out of the midnight forest," if the poems don't all refer to midnight, or forests, or both, they all have a darkness about them that is reminiscent of midnight and midnight doings. Anyway, the names of the four sections of this book are taken from lines in the contained poems. By now it's clear they don't necessarily encapsulate the meaning of all poems found therein. Please don't mistake all my wondering about why this was titled as it was and why that was not titled in a different way as intended criticism. This is a wonderful book and I think you need to read it. After you do, it will probably stick with you. From "Wild things"<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />out of the midnight forest<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />they follow you home like shadow<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />they live in your walls and rafters<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />in forgotten backs of cupboards<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />you know their shapes<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />but will not name them.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 13pt;">The year is 1888. Sixteen year old Scottish farmworker Jeannie Guthrie fears she has accidentally killed her ne’er-do-well cousin George, and flees in panic to London. Drawn reluctantly into the world of the occult, and seemingly haunted by her cousin’s vengeful ghost, Jeannie must learn to control her mysterious power to in order to survive.</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 13pt;">“The greatest strength of Wild Talent is its vivid portrayal of the tumultuous times in which Jeannie lives. The drudgery of rural poverty, the decadence of absinthe-soaked artists, the glamour of the Paris world’s fair, and the spiritual debates among London ’s occult circles are all handled with skill. When I finished Wild Talent I felt that I’d paid a visit to the late 19th century, that I’d been right there with Jeannie all along.”</span></div>

BACK IN THE DAYS by Addena Sumter-Freitag Reviewed by: Atef Laouyene<br />
<br />
In Back in the Days, the seventh-generation African Canadian Addena Sumter-Freitag takes us on a memorably intimate journey, relating her experiences growing up as a black girl in Winnipeg’s North End in the 1950s. Deeply sorrowful at times and sharply acerbic at others, Sumter-Freitag’s will undoubtedly become one of the most prominent poetic voices of Canada’s Black community. Although her idiom occasionally verges on the prosaic and the mundanely anecdotal (perhaps due to her theatre background), her emotional sincerity is little short of breathtaking. Playwright, performance artist, and poet, Sumter-Freitag brings her poems to life by fusing the poetically suggestive with the brutally honest and the brazenly humorous with the unspeakably tragic.<br />
<br />
Back in the Days is a collection of poems gracefully interlaced with pieces of creative non-fiction and touchingly rendered by the same speaker in Sumter-Freitag’s earlier one-woman play, Stay Black and Die. Drawing on her childhood memories and stamping her idiom with black speech patterns, Sumter-Freitag succeeds in weaving a riveting, multi-voiced, and multi-generational family portrait, one that mirrors the collective lived experiences of racialized Black minorities both in the US and in Canada. A host of characters make their appearance in this family portrait: the uncommunicative but attractively melancholy father, with whom Sumter-Freitag has a special fascination; the strict but selflessly indefatigable mother; the shell-shocked cousins; the cousins who taught her the facts of life; the uncle who was assassinated by the clan; and the other uncle who enlisted in the Great War only to find himself building ditches and shovel[ing] the shit in the latrines. Within Sumter-Freitag’s poetic breath, these characters are generously accommodated, not because they have been part of her coming-of-age journey, but because their long-buried stories will hopefully bring to public consciousness the violence of racial politics that continues to structure the Black community’s social existence. That the book has made it into the school curriculum now is, without doubt, a plain testament to its relevance and merit.<br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Addena’s first book <i>Stay Black & Die</i> is a funny and challenging one-woman play about growing up black in Winnipeg’s North End during the 1950s and ’60s. It’s about growing up in a dysfunctional home, about being the only black family in a Post-World War II, </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">immigrant, </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Winnipeg neighbourhood. A young girl, Penny triumphs in the face of sexism and racism.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The title comes from an expression that Addena’s mother often used. “She realized by the time I came along, ‘Let this kid know right away who she is, what’s happening, what to expect.’ So she always kept saying, ‘Girl, there’s only two things you gotta do. And that’s stay black, and die.’”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Perpetua; font-size: 14pt; font-variant: small-caps;">Literary, science fictional, slipstream</span><span style="font-family: Perpetua; font-size: 14pt;">, and fantastic—this medley of stories is grounded in the present day, weaving backward to the life of Saint Francis, and forward to a time when Earth is a memory, and new humans are finding their place among the stars.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Perpetua; font-size: 14pt;">Wolf’s characters grapple with personal integrity and connection with others, with the imperatives to abandon fear and hate and to question cherished beliefs. A Haitian street kid with a mercurial coin, a skid-row waitress with a passion for palaeontology, and aliens inadvertently trapped in sculptures by Henry Moore, journey side by side<strong><span style="font-family: Perpetua;"> </span></strong>with<strong><span style="font-family: Perpetua;"> </span></strong>a northern Native man searching for a place to bury a dead spaceman, and two teenagers who build an old-style science-fiction machine with a very modern purpose.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Perpetua; font-size: 14pt;">Wolf’s unexpected approach to story telling interlaces humour, compassion, and a compelling affection for human and nonhuman with a fine-spun unorthodoxy in these understated tales of this world and beyond.</span></div>

It is a pleasure to recommend this collection.”</span></div>

Rich, ripe stuff, with a haunting echo of Ray Bradbury’s October moods.</span></div>

Claude couldn’t explain it. Some of them were ridiculous—the “mouth biting butt” out front was one of these—and some of them were spooky. Like “Working Model for ‘Reclining Figure: Lincoln Center’”. That one had an upright bit that seemed like someone on her knees with her mouth muzzled and her arms tied behind her back. It was scary. It made him feel a scream deep inside that could never come out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Perpetua; font-size: 13pt;">But other ones. My God. They were like a family of Friendly Giants. Scattered around the place and doing their own thing but connected somehow. It seemed to him like they always knew what the others were experiencing and—he never would have admitted this to anyone of course, no <em>way</em>, but—it also seemed like they loved each other. Claude could kind of imagine—fantasize, you know—that they were aware of him, too. That they might <em>even </em>come to love <em>him </em>one day.</span></div>

Like he was, but not because they were alone like him, cause they weren’t, but because they never moved, and they never <em>touched</em>.</span></div>
