This week on Writers Unbound, Old Poems in a New Light, with poets Jason Camlot and Gillian Sze. Jason finds inspiration in Victorian prose, limericks, Leonard Cohen, and a couple of guinea pigs, while Gillian’s work reproduces, in English, the spaces and silences of 8th-century Chinese verse. We’ll also have recommendations of poetry for adults and children from Drawn & Quarterly, the Mile End bookstore.
