For Poetry Month, I’d like to bring to your attention poets that I’ve loved.
Today, it’s Bänoo Zan:
Info on her and her work: http://lavalab.ca/artist/295

Her poetry:
You answer my call
by calling
me
What does it mean
to mean
nothing?
Life
inhabits the geography
of time
and parentheses
open their arms
to margins
You lick my tongue
like a lullaby
Falling—
I drink destiny—
an extinct genre

She holds a monthly poetry reading night in Toronto: Shab-e She’r (Poetry Night) https://www.facebook.com/groups/poetry.gallery.toronto/permalink/893119844074126/
Her book, The Song of Phoenix: Life and Works of Sylvia Plath, was reprinted in 2010 in Iran.
Enjoy more poetry and walk the talk.
