BARRIERS – Aislinn Hunter / What it means to be a writer.

When we find ourselves immeasurably altered and enriched.

Belleville http://www.city.belleville.on.ca/ is a city located at the mouth of the Moira River, just on the Bay of Quinte in Ontario. The directions to 100,000 years back in time? If you travelling from Belleville, is to follow Old Highway 2 until the grounds of Tyendinaga Cavern and Caves. Here you can visit Tyendinaga Caves, http://tyendinagacaves.blogspot.com/ a neat place with some cool things to see. To make the caves accessible, they had to build trails. To make poetry lovable, she build words.

She is the author of two books of poetry, three books of fiction and a book of lyric essays. She teaches Creative Writing at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. She writes of impossibilities, that somehow function. AISLINN HUNTER https://twitter.com/aislinnhunter tell you of the tenuous interrelations that comprise our experience. Her creative field of inquiry? It move across domestic, ecological, literary and philosophical subjects. Her first collection won the Gerald Lampert Award for best first book of poetry.

AISLINN HUNTER was born in Belleville (Ontario), but now lives in Vancouver. She teaches part-time and is also studying for a PHD from the University of Edinburgh. In late 2004 she gave readings and workshops in the Highlands, for the Scottish Poetry Library. The brevity of a poem is important, because it highlights gift for poetic economy and the deceptive simplicity. In this way, she is taking us into what we think of as familiar territory, revealing what was missed. In 2017, her third book of poetry will be published by Gaspereau Press.

BARRIERS – The body: how we sit inside it impatient as bees in a jar. The spark of intention, heart thumping against the chest as if testing the strength of its walls. How one night, before leaving his wife, Scott counted the number of places their bodies touched while sleeping. Believing that even if he survived, they would never fit together that way again. The thin parchment that is skin, how we sometimes want to walk out of it, leave it like an old coat at the edge of a lake, and formless, dive in.
