Our ecopoetics group has partnered with Christi Kramer on the Vancouver launch of an exciting new book, Ghost Fishing: An Eco Justice Poetry Anthology. This event will take place on the summer solstice, June 21st at 7pm at the Historic Joy Kogawa House.
Please refer to the attached poster for details: Ghost Fishing
A particle strayed into the woods
Away from its electromagnetic course
An escape from collision and fission
To where unobserved it observes
Sunlight and shadow moving freely
A playful chase between branches and leaves
While deep below water connects with root
All set by the massive world’s own spin
That allows each element to settle down.
Away from concrete walls and cyclotrons,
A probabilistic reality charted out
On messy whiteboard based upon
Some as-of-yet unconfirmed theory.
Its entangled pair may stay in its place
While particle A shakes off its
Undignified designation and returns
To the natural process from where it came.
