Joan Swift – Carey Taylor

Cirque – Winter – 2018

February 5, 2018

I am honored to have two poems in the most recent volume of Cirque, a Literary Journal for the North Pacific Rim. Check it out here: Cirque – Winter 2018. As usual, Editors Sandra Kleven and Michael Burwell have produced a stunning journal. This issue also includes a tribute to the late Seattle poet, Joan Swift, which I was lucky to have known. I hope in some small way this tribute written by myself and other poets who knew and loved her, helps expand her contribution to the world of poetry.

CIRQUE-Winter Solstice 2016

December 28, 2016

I am honored to have my poem “Sicks Stadium, July 5th, 1970” and “Still Breathing: A Lifetime of Poetry-An Interview with Joan Swift” published in the most recent volume of CIRQUE – A Literary Journal of the North Pacific Rim.

Once again, Editors Sandra Kleven and Mike Burell have put together a beautiful journal, which I would encourage anyone who is interested in regional writing at its best, to read.

Here are a few pictures from photographer, Michael Kleven taken at the Cirque Reading on August 12th. This is the second reading I have attended at the Wikstrom Brothers Gallery in Seattle and I am so thankful to be connected through poetry to this wonderful tribe of people.

Yours in poetry,

Carey
