Ars Poetica: A Conversation with Chantal Gibson.

We are proud to host Chantal Gibson in our new Ars Poetica conversation series on art, craft, theory, and method at the intersection of poetry and anthropology. Gibson's debut poetry book, I How She Read i , is a collection of genre-blurring poems about the representation of Black women across the Canadian cultural imagination. Poets who work within a tradition say something in a particular way; poets who I break i with tradition are saying something else - something outside the poem. Many poems include pen marks, blackouts, or explicit structure (concrete poems, erasure poems, a sonnet crown). [Extracted from the article]
