011 Stealing, Silence and Creativity with Carmine Starnino

"Good reviewing," writes Carmine Starnino in the not-to-be-missed introduction to his A Lover’s Quarrel Essays and Reviews, "... reviewing that believes in literary failure – is invaluable because by calling one poem good and another less good, and adducing clear reasons for those claims, it offers one writerly interpretation of a particular achievement, and invites the reader to sympathetically tag along; his or her senses momentarily borrowing the reviewer’s responses." We met in a somewhat echoey corner of the National Gallery in Ottawa to hold  This Way Out up to scrutiny, naming names: which of his poems are good, which bad. In addition: who are the best and worst contemporary Canadian poets. Listen as we walk the walk of A Lover’s Quarrel.  Photo credit: Gaspereau Press
