Poet-in-Residence
Arc 76: Canada's Squirming Creature Poetry Magazine
In this issue of Arc Poetry Magazine, a year of Sylvia Legris’ mentorships as Arc’s Poet-In-Residence comes to an end.
With new work from Legris and four exceptional poets fostered by Legris’ mentorship, the Poet-In-Residence feature reveals what makes poems stand out in a crowded field.
Other new work in this issue includes poetry by Matthew Walsh and Robyn Sarah, an extended mockumentary-esque oral history by Daniel Scott Tysdal, and selections from Armand Garnet Ruffo’s poetic biography of Ojibway artist Norval Morrisseau.
