Michael Lista, On Poetry: Gabe Forman digs deep in his debut book
Michael Lista, On Poetry
There is a photograph you should see of an archaeological dig from the summer of 2006; four men and two women recline together on the side of a dirt hill. It is a summer day and by the shadows it looks about noon. Something about their pose suggests Whitman, or Vishnu dreaming the universe. Everyone is smiling in that recognizably genuine way from which we may infer that either someone has succeeded in deploying a joke, or that everyone is just, in this moment, actually happy. A little placard lies beneath them and reads BAWK-13 Class of 2006. Whatever they’ve unearthed remains outside the frame. And on the top of the hill, above everybody else, in floppy hats and hugging, are three unpublished poets whom we may as well call The Archaeologists: Jeramy Dodds, Joshua Trotter and Gabe Foreman.
The first two names should be familiar to anyone with even a fair-weather interest in Canadian poetry. Dodds’ wonderful first book, Crabwise to the Hounds is the private abecedary of a playful but serious imagination, a field guide to daydreams and frailties. It reads to me like the love child of Edgar Lee Masters’s Spoon River Anthology and Paul Muldoon’s alphabetical survey of Irish literature, To Ireland, I. The collection is made up, as its title suggests, of verse and prose studies of the varieties of humans: “Adulterers,” “Bookies,” “Couch Potatoes,” “Defectors from the Freudian Camp,” “Eulogists,” “The Lovesick,” etc. But earnest, typecast, de rigueur efforts these are not. The poem “Missing Persons” is a mad lib. “One Night Stands” refers us to the entry “Wrong Numbers,” a poem that doesn’t appear in the book. “Queue Jumpers” butts in between “Bargain Hunters” and “Bookies.” “Identical Twins” and the book’s first poem, “Accidents” are, beautifully, exactly the same.
At the heart of A Complete Encyclopedia of Different Types of People is a show-stopping prose poem called “House-Sitters.” It documents one of those no-holds-barred cottage weekends where one suddenly finds oneself “too stoned to dance and sick of Twister, bored with the endless limbo on the lawn.” The poem opens with a quotation from a Genesis song (“I’m in too deep”) and it ends with the speaker deep in the middle of a lake (for the second time in the poem) doubling back on the last bit of the first line of The Book of Genesis (“the shore was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep”).

"Not necessarily talking about going out and shooting someone—talking about missing things, talking about having your girl cheating on you while you're [deployed]." Sure, distilling wartime lyrics into music is a common genre in pop culture.
Of course there was. But Bishop never interpreted her poetry for him. She talked about missing Nova Scotia. But she never spoke directly about her mother — Gertrude Bulmer Bishop — though Schwartz and Barry believe they're inextricably entwined.
Unfortunately I'll be missing some great-looking things like the genre sessions and Not Your Nana's Slide Night, as I have so f**king much to do before we go away in two weeks. I will, however, be in the Poetry Cafe on Wednesday, and will stick around
