Poet Susan Gillis was invited to be the Guest Poet at Cobourg Poetry Workshop’s Third Thursday Reading Series for March. Postponed because of Covid 19, we hope that her reading will take place later in the year, but in the meantime please enjoy our conversation with Susan, which we recorded recently by using ZOOM. Her books include 2018’s Yellow Crane: part love poem to her former home and part meditation on the ecologies of place, writing, and desire. A member of the collaborative group Yoko’s Dogs and the performance group Bon Echo, Susan also co-curates the online journal HALIBUT for micro-poetry, and offers workshops, manuscript services and mentorship online and in person.
