Gina Roitman: Poem
"At St. Joseph’s Oratory" On the lip of a cliff / its dome an unblinking eye beseeching heaven, / the Oratory stands as silent as Brother Andre’s heart,...

Jennifer Boire: Poem
"Song for the heart: Mount Royal Park" Tonight I call to my heart to return, / to give flesh to the dry beanlike / thing in its place.

Zheng Yichun: Cutting The Devil’s Tail
For any advocate of free speech such as Du Daobin, this “literary inquisition” by “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” remains a Sword of Damocles that can fall on any of us anywhere and at anytime. It is first and foremost an extermination order delivered by the Chinese Communist Party against the free thought and free expression of the Chinese people, and a merciless and despicable declaration of war by the Communist Fascist tyranny against the historical course of China’s modernization!

Katharine Beeman: A Swamp and Forest Inlander Meets the Sea
A Swamp and Forest Inlander Meets the Sea focuses on Cuba and aligns itself immediately with Fidel Castro and the rebels who fought with him. The poet has a mission statement in her introduction, seeing her book as “a wavelet in the gathering world wide tsunami to wash the [U.S.] blockade from the Island’s shores.”

Anne Cimon: The Question
I've been writing and publishing for thirty years and, by now, I feel comfortable writing in English and in French. Though French is the language of my ancestors, of my family, of my childhood, I love both languages.

Katia Grubisic: “The square root of himself, and other people besides’”
Michael Harris has been an elusive poetic presence in the past couple of decades. Oh, he’s been around, and as interested and interesting as ever, at dinners with so-and-so-who-knows-so-and-so, attending and even giving public readings now and again, as an anecdotalist leaning against the bar (ask him the one about Ted Hughes and the orgasm)…

Bruce Whiteman: Don’t Confuse Acquittal with Passion
Mike Spry’s debut collection of poems is remarkably self-assured and almost too replete with Weltschmertz and experience from the deep end. After reading the first poem, “Idleness Foxglove,” with its end-of-the-line cynicism, empty bottles and ciggy packs, and women so fed-up they prefer vibrators to flesh-and-blood pricks, I wondered briefly, “Is this what kid poets are up to these days?”

Editorial 101-05
In spite of a setback, Poetry Quebec begins its second year with renewed energy. In the spring, we applied to the Canada Council so that we could start paying our contributors. We wanted to practice what we preached in a “Soapbox” that appeared in Issue 2 called “Pay the Poets.”

Jennifer Boire: Notes from La table ronde, fragments de littérature anglo-québécoise
Montreal is a huge river, a song with many notes to feed the ear and heart. We let its rhythms lullaby us to sleep, wake us up on the radio, tell us the news, announce its concerns in many languages. As for writers, they may live in Quebec but they come from all over – the Caribbean, India, U.K., the Phillipines, Australia, Ontario, Vancouver, Taiwan, Lebanon, Toronto, Africa. We are difficult to classify, except in the one way that that unites – we think and imagine and write en anglais. And we happen to live in Quebec, a French speaking province.
