Poetry Planet Blog is an unsual project put together by the League of Canadian Poets as a tribute to Canada for National Poetry Month 2009. The League has compiled the work of 60 Canadian poets from across Canada and posted them under the city and province from which the poet hails. The result is a stunning variety of poetry in all styles, well worth bookmarking for return trips. Especially read Because Her Heart by poet Claudia Coutu Radmore, listed under Carleton Place, ON, then dance around through the posts and get your fill of the world of Canadian poetry in 2009.

This poem was inspired by the South Central Alberta landscape, specifically “The Scandinavian Trail” area between Markerville and Dickson. Danish and Icelandic immigrants came to the area. If you are down that way be sure to check out the Danish-Canadian National Museum in Dickson, and the homestead of Icelandic pioneer-poet Stephan G. Stephansson in Markerville.

I lived on the banks of the Red River as a child, too, and was enthralled with the crisply white and gigantic childhood perception of the SS Keenora as it glided majestically toward its destinations. We waved, we shouted, we jumped for joy from the banks of the mighty Red, and imagined kings and princesses dining royally on Ritz biscuits and real cheddar cheese!
My thanks to Rosalee van Stelten for bringing this all but forgotten memory back to me.

interesting and marvelous twist on anatomy of a parrot… not your usual poetic theme, but then, Claudia is not your usual poet!

Brava!
