Episode P114 | Length: 31' Writer: Arleen Paré Host/Producer: Ingrid Rose From July 21, 2025, to August 10, 2025
Arleen Paré, one of Canada's most prolific and prestigious poets, joins Ingrid Rose to discuss the act and art of writing.
I have made of myself a long river of words, a plain flatlands meander of words looping back, looping ahead. The Old Testament posits the word, words being the main way we open and close. Take me away. Bring me back. Night comes, and the sky stops in its heedless rotation. If you have made of yourself a door in time, can you make it to open even halfway?
