Bridestones
Come, anguish. Help us manage / the plainsong of an open shore, / its language of high tide, rich and close, / close and hard to see.
In her conversation with Ingrid Rose, Miranda Pearson discusses how lifelong themes and experiences are interwoven in this book, like the white lines that connect the stones on the cover of her book. For example, love renewed while visiting the Bridestones (sandstone rock formations in Yorkshire), or the world seen from a bird's-eye perspective in a poem from her book, The Aviary.
Miranda Pearson has homes in Vancouver and Kent, England, where she grew up. She came to Canada as a psychiatric nurse. She has an MFA from the University of British Columbia; has worked as an editor and creative writing instructor, and now practices visual art.
Bridestones (2024) is her sixth book of poetry, published as part of the juried Hugh McLennan Poetry Series by McGill-Queen's University Press. Of her previous titles, both The Fire Extinguisher and Harbour were nominated for the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize, and The Aviary (2006) won the Alfred G. Bailey Prize from the Writers Federation of Newfoundland.
