(on) writing the
gaspereau review
Matt Robinson
a real postman,
these real words:
an editor’s response.
a swift kick to the kroetsch.
just like he’d predicted -
there was no one
there
to receive my application(s):
my words,
not real(ly).
i’ve worked in a garden ctr.
five yrs. now,
even managed a summer
or two;
but it seems the
climate’s just not right
in wolfville for
anything in my
seed catalogue to
grow.
(shit,
i’m up against it.)
and it’s
really not that fertile.
