Palabra Flamenco
@palabraflamenco.bsky.social
Traditional flamenco meets English-language poetry. Members include dancer Denise Yeo, guitarist Gareth Owen, and poets Garth Martens and Jan Zwicky. Ongoing performances on Vancouver Island. Upcoming performance in Vancouver.
Two members of Palabra Flamenco, Jan Zwicky and Garth Martens, perform tomorrow 3:30-5:00 p.m. at Open Space in downtown Victoria. Free to attend.
Tomorrow, I join forces with Jan Zwicky to read Jan’s new long poem, Say It, which arises from the depths of environmental cataclysm.
Say It is a recent release from Deer Mountain Pages. Tim Lilburn will introduce this unique publishing venture and lead a discussion with us after the reading.

Whoa.
We go on.
We do not turn back.
The world becomes so small we can fit it into a handshake,
into a glance cast across the room,
a finger raised to the lips.
Everyone’s fingers are crossed behind their backs.

The great Alfred Brendel once gave a piano lesson devoted to Schubert’s G-major sonata D894; the entire lesson was spent on the opening tonic chord. Or so I was told. RIP maestro. Your Schubert and Haydn will never die.
