    Noticing. Moving out of autopilot. Actively making decisions to notice. We chat about Anne Truitt’s book Daybook: The Journal of an Artist. Jessica reads a recent sensory inspired piece. Catherine shares the story behind her poem “Sleep Patterns for Seamus Heaney.” And we have fun with the word “colloquium.” Join us for the last episode of Season Five!

    We “sink in” to the role perception plays with art and writing. Catherine reads two excerpts from her novels (Quarry and The Most Cunning Heart) as examples. Jessica shares her poem “The Works,” a commissioned piece written when she was Poet Laureate of Cobourg. Plus we talk about portals, paying attention and writing through to see.

    We talk about art as inspiration and connection. We share stories about visiting art galleries and our powerful one-on-one experiences with art. Catherine shares two poems that connect to two book covers “Troll Was No Monster” (Winterkill) and “Cancer in the Celery Forest” (The Celery Forest). Jessica shares her poem “Windblown Group of Seven,” inspired by a sketch by Tom Thompson of a landscape she knows and loves dearly.
