Ronna Bloom

I was 15 and stoned and dancing on the floor of the Mtl forum, getting mixed up in a blissed out crowd. It was for sure amazing. Like a moment from someone else's life.

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

Yesterday's art project

Yes! I had my grad there in the last century. 😃

I'm going to Montreal to launch my new book with Stephanie Bolster and Gillian Sze! Wheeeee! If you're there, come!

(And if you can suggest a quiet restaurant open Sunday night I'll prescribe you a poem.)

To have @robmclennan.bsky.social eyes on one's work is to feel a part of the poetry landscape in a welcome way.

There's something very distilled and calming about this response to my book that i appreciate. Thank you, rob!

Thank you, rob! 🙏❤️

I misread "cycling" as "crying."

"I'll know you when you get here - but if you don't arrive
I'm waving anyway, because you might need it
on your long road through, the one everyone is taking."

Sometimes like now in a different town and on my way further, i am shocked by my utter freedom. And privilege.

If i were in Victoria, i'd 100% go to this!

Poetry collection In a Riptide by Ronna Bloom (Brick Books), nestled amidst dried flowers and stalks in a garden

Poem "Rending the Garments" from the poetry collection In a Riptide by Ronna Bloom, held before dried flowers and stalks in a garden

Handwritten transcription of the poem "Rending the Garments" from the poetry collection In a Riptide by Ronna Bloom

"Has anyone done that for you, lately
or ever? Come over, torn open the sky
and let the snow fall in the wrong month
to show there's a rip in the face of the world?"

What a trio!!!

Thank you, George!
