Thank you to @canadianpoets for featuring my poem “Blue Ice, Lake Wonish, 1935” today (April 21, 2019) for their Poetry Pause program. The poem is inspired by the painting of the same name by Canadian modernist painter and Beaver Hall member, Anne Savage. The poem originally appeared in the anthology, Heartwood: Poems for the Love of Trees (League of Canadian Poets, 2018) . . . #gregsantos #poetry #annesavage #beaverhallgroup #canadianart #canadianpoetry #leagueofcanadianpoets #poetrypause #npm19 #nationalpoetrymonth #instagrampoetry #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #groupofseven #tomthomson https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwh5sLiAk52/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wt00eqxfw7j9

I'm honoured and so pleased to be featured in the latest episode (8) of the AELAQ's podcast "Inside the Frozen Mammoth" alongside writer and translator, Anita Anand. We discuss what makes Montreal a unique place to read and write, language kerfuffles, New York, poetry brothels, moving away and returning to this city, my manuscript-in-progress inspired by the life and art of Canadian painter and Beaver Hall Group member Anne Savage, my forthcoming collection with @eyewearpress (it was just being shopped around at the time), and I read from my two poetry collections, The Emperor's Sofa and Rabbit Punch! from DC Books. Tune into the following link (http://aelaq.org/podcast/) to listen to the podcast on SoundCloud or download it via iTunes, and temporarily in my bio.
