Contraverse
Winter 2007. Vol. 29 No.3
“Contraverse” looks into the wilder side of verse with Manitoba poetry sensation Poor Tree. Members Christoff Engbrecht, David Streit and Dana Landry offer candid observations about the contribution of their brand of performance poetry—and also includes poems written during an impromptu improv performance for CV2’s Managing Editor, Clarise Foster. Other work includes new erotic poems by George Elliot Clarke, visual poems by Donato Mancini, new pieces by jazzy Charlene Diehl, newcomer Carey Toane and much more.
