Planet Earth Poetry: Al Rempel & Harold Rhenisch (Mar 28, 2025)

Featured readers: Al Rempel’s books of poetry are Sprocket, Undiscovered Country, This Isn't the Apocalypse We Hoped For, and Understories. His poems have also appeared in a variety of journals, anthologies, chapbooks, and video-poems. Rempel’s poems have also been translated into Spanish and Italian. More information can be found at www.alrempel.com. Sprocket is a series of breathless prose-poems of the poet’s childhood adventures spent roaming free in the idyllic setting of Arnold, BC. Each poem is a snapshot of one or two memories. From climbing up the mountain to finding the best way ‘to run full blast through a cornfield just before harvest,’ Rempel takes his readers through an age where, as long as you were home by suppertime, you could go almost anywhere on your bike. Harold Rhenisch studied poetry at UVic and has been writing from rural Cascadia for 44 years. He has won two Malahat Long Poem Prizes as well as prizes in two CBC poetry competitions. His memoir The Wolves at Evelyn won the George Ryga Prize. The Salmon Shanties is his 33rd book. Drum songs and fancy dances for salmon and the people who have been calling them in this biosphere for over 16,000 years. These are reconciliation songs celebrating Chinook Wawa and written to honour and extend the historical and literary work of Victoria’s Charles Lillard and Terry Glavin. If Ezra Pound had returned to his native Cascadia instead of going to Europe, he might have written this book of place, its people, history, language, shrub steppes and seas. Here it is. ~ A NOTE ON OUR ANTHOLOGY PROJECT: AFTER: Poems In Dialogue: An Anthology of Poetic Response We invite you to write poems of your own in response to Al Rempel & Harold Rhenisch's work from this reading.
