MAGICAL REALISM NEWS FOR THURSDAY, NOV 10
Topic: November 2005
THE INTERSECTION OF MAGICAL REALISM AND POETRY

OF COURSE, THERE'S SUCH A THING
Terri Windling of Endicott Studio writes about Carolyn Dunn's book of poems, Outfoxing Coyote: "If there's such a thing as magical realist poetry, then this is it: a simply gorgeous volume of poems that draws upon the myths of Carolyn's Native American heritage (Coyote, Deer Woman, etc.), yet brings them into a contemporary context."

NOT BALLS
Here's a MR poem from five-year veteran and active organizer of the National Poetry Slam, Julia Ann Delbridge.

OLD LINK, FRESH CONCEPT
The Guardian, in a long-ago article in lit., cited Claribel Alegría as a magic-realist poet from Nicaragua in their World-in-Translation Month celebration based upon Jules Verne's classic novel, Around the World In 80 Days.

A TRUE POET 4 PEACE
Fans of Marjorie Agosin can read one of her poems, "Jerome (for John)," in both Spanish and English versions, here. Agosin is a Chilean-born poet whose peace activism was recently recognized with the coveted Leadership Award in Human Rights from the United Nations.

NOTE A THEME HERE?
From an old press release at Lapidus: Literary Arts in Personal Development, Jean Sprackland was touted Britain's "foremost magical realist poet" and named in 2004 as one of the Poetry Book Society’s Next Generation poets.
Still can't guess the theme?
