The sun had not yet risen. The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it. Gradually as the sky whitened a dark line lay on the horizon dividing the sea from the sky and the grey cloth became barred with thick strokes moving, one after another, beneath the surface, following each other, pursuing each other, perpetually.

Betty Goodwin, Swimmers, c. 1980, drypoint in black and blue on laid paper,
32.5 x 35.8 cm.

Oh, to awake from dreaming! Look, there is the chest of drawers. Let me pull myself out of these waters. But they heap themselves on me; they sweep me between their great shoulders; I am turned; I am tumbled; I am stretched, among these long lights, these long waves, these endless paths, with people pursuing, pursuing.


Betty Goodwin, Swimmers, 1980

Virginia Woolf, The Waves, 1931

rob - real quick message - cause we're in town.

This Saturday we're in Ottawa - playing @ Zaphod Beeblebrox. We're opening for The Brandon Paris Band (fantastic rock group from Vancouver, you may have seen their videos on Muchmusic etc.)

We're on at 9pm sharp, they're on at 10! :) It would be cool to come on out!

What does one send to the Lighthouse indeed! At any other time Lily could have suggested reasonably tea, tobacco, newspapers. But this morning everything seemed so extraordinarily queer that a question like Nancy’s—What does one send to the Lighthouse?—opened doors in one’s mind that went banging and swinging to and fro and made one keep asking, in a stupefied gape, What does one send? What does one do? Why is one sitting here, after all? (Woolf)

Hi Rob, I hope things are going well in Ottawa. I'm just finishing up with the new issue of TTQ, so I'll be able to work on the series of interview questions for you and check out the pdf file you sent me of your latest poetry book.
Stay well and have a great weekend! Cheers!!!
