CBC Question 3: On Favorite Poet

CBC: WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE POET AND WHY?
A wolf pack’s moonlight serenade is the song of the mountain top. The collective of poets living in and around Ottawa are my favourite poet. The sermon, the prayer, the hymn, are all part of a congregation’s celebration. A lone cry in the night has no answer. Community is the Canadian Howl. Ottawa is our poem and you are the poet. A Valley, a Peace Tower, a Canadian Shield, we stand en-guarde; our sword is the pen and song that points the way.
