  • Review by Blaine Marchand

    Blaine Marchand reviews Life, after life—from epitaph to epilogue for The Ontario Poetry Society’s magazine, Verse Afire

    An upcoming issue of Verse Afire, the flagship semi-annual magazine from The Ontario Poetry Society, will feature Ottawa poet Blaine Marchand’s definitive review of JC’s third poetry collection, published under her pen name, A. Garnett Weiss.

    Life, after life—from epitaph to epilogue offers over 60 found poems which use words and phrases drawn unaltered from obituaries published in the Globe and Mail.

    Marchand’s cogent observations about this, her second book of found poems, include these quotes:

    “…the poet creates tankas that are exquisitely beautiful, insightful, compelling, and haunting.”

    “…these epilogues are tributes that encapsulate the nuances and fleeting moments that shape human life and emotions.”

    “Over and over, these poems literally take one’s breath away, which is indeed a fit metaphor for such a book.”

    JC thanks Blaine Marchant for sharing his insights into Life, after life, which Aeolus House published in the fall of 2024.
