Julie Roorda – författare

Poets on Poets is a unique anthology that features the poems of Canadian poets on a writer who has left a mark on them or their writing. Each poem has a back story to it, ranging from impressions to chronological details. Edited by Julie Roorda and Elana Wolff, the anthology sheds light not only on the creative process but also on the relationship between and among writers.

Examining the relationship between consciousness and body, this collection of poetry penetrates hidden emotions contained by vital organs, offering new perspectives on loss and alienation that are both hilarious and startling. Through her powerful images, including those of organ transplant, lower-order creatures, and characters of the mythic underworld, Roorda boldly examines the root of courage, revealing the haunting truth behind this mysterious force.
