Tom Wayman<\/h1>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In a wide-ranging lecture rich in poetic example, Tom Wayman addresses the challenges today\u2019s poets face in connecting with a modern audience distracted by ceaseless war, intense commercialism, and absurd celebrity. Well known as a \u201cworker\u2019s poet,\u201d Wayman questions the \u201cjob\u201d of poetry in all its varied forms from Elizabethan and Victorian works to those in the experimental, avant-garde, and postmodern era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wayman\u2019s lecture is a call to arms against the mindlessness of war, greed, and vacuous entertainment and a rallying cry for peace, generosity, and introspection\u2014states poetry can traverse like few other art forms whether ballad, sonnet, villanelle, lyric, chant, shanty, or holler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPoetry, which nobody wants to buy, stands nearly alone in possessing the potential to speak the truth. Its location outside the rule of money gives it a perspective unique in our dollar-haunted society. Precisely because poetry has no cash equivalent, poetry is both literally and metaphorically priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the genre, like ourselves, exists in a time of enormous obfuscation about the realities of existence, a purposeful confusion generated on behalf of corporations and governments with a vested interest in having people turn away from understanding their own daily lives \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What has all this to do with poetry? The world in which Canada is at war is the world that poetry, and Canadian poetry specifically, must sing. Poets, like the rest of our population, have to force our way each day against a stream of words directed at us by authorities of every kind who do not have our best interests at heart. And poets, like all writers, create their art of the medium of words. Our goal of honest communication of our feelings and ideas, our attempt to push past our solitude to offer our vision of existence to the community of which we are part, is made doubly difficult when the very substance from which our art takes shape is debased by the rulers of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2014Tom Wayman<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
