Excited to play a small role in this sound, poetry, & astronomy collaboration. I’ll represent The Quebec Writers’ Federation at this bilingual International Observe the Moon Night event hosted by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Montreal. La poésie partout présentera le poète Joël Pourbaix.

Review of Meltwater by Claire Wahmanholm by Avryl Bender In her 2023 collection of poems, Meltwater, Claire Wahmanholm treats language with the care of a finite resource, demonstrating a conscientious respect for the organic materials of poetry. Throughout the work, Wahmanholm repurposes lines

We love seeing Scrivener merch out in the world. From the beaches of Victoria to the Chelsea Hotel, sun protection has never looked better. Not to mention how stunning issue 46 is by the sea.

In 1997, Dean Irvine of Scrivener spoke with Anne Carson on the telephone. On the heels of her 1996 Lannan Literary Prize win, Carson discussed anthropology, Heidegger, fragments of classical manuscripts, and patronage in Canadian arts. Read it now in 2025 at scrivenerreview.com/archive.

The new poetry in The Scrivener is great. Also, I own this cap and it rocks. Perfect for adding a little hipster glam to unwashed hair weekend dog walks. :)

Thrilled to have a poem in @scrivener1980.bsky.social ‘s Summer Feature.

A long, narrow poem, ‘Still Life with Shadows’ by Susan Robertson.

Friable soft yellow
faded to fawn—
three daffodils
left to dry
in a small brown bottle
that once held
tincture of rose
gifted to you
by your niece
for anxiety
after the news
rest on the desk
next to your mother’s diary
held together
with a rubber band.
