B. W. Powe<\/p><\/div>\n

Esteemed Canadian poet, novelist and essayist B.W. Powe is one of York\u2019s treasures, bolstering this University\u2019s strong literary tradition. A prolific writer, he has produced books that were championed by Canada\u2019s leading publishers including Coach House, Guernica Editions and Random House.<\/p>\n

Powe, who began at York in 1995, teaches courses on Marshall McLuhan and Northrop Frye and on Visionaries, and has helped found the Dead Tree Medium Theatre Group through the McLuhan Initiative at York University.<\/p>\n

Described by Toronto writer\/editor Elana Wolff as \u201coceanic in intellectual breadth and interest, spiritual vision and pure, unshielded feeling,\u201d Powe produced an engaging new volume of poetry: Decoding Dust <\/em>(NeoPoiesis Press, 2016). It contains emotive themes of family and deep connections; it perfectly encapsulates life at a particular point in time \u2013 with grown kids and ailing parents \u2013 as well as the universal \u2018stuff\u2019 of life.<\/p>\n

In this Q&A, he discusses his new book.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> Why did you write Decoding Dust<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> The poems came from a desire to get close to the soul and sorrow, the heart of my family and heartbreak, shapeshifters and the garden of vision. I wanted the book to be a place of intensities, where many voices would speak.<\/p>\n

Sometimes my desire was just to shape something beautiful. It may seem an odd thing to say, but if you\u2019ve added beauty to the world, in the way a tree is beautiful, then I think you\u2019ve done something. That\u2019s part of what I wanted to do: leave a beautiful line on a page.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> What are the key ingredients to your writing process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"Decoding<\/p>\n

Decoding Dust<\/em>. Reproduced with permission of NeoPoiesis Press.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A:<\/strong> Time, concentration, quiet, few interruptions, the cultivation of images and voices, a solitude that creates receptivity. Keeping myself open to atmospheres and the closeness of things, to the voices of soul yearning and transformation\u2026 This is what I hoped to get into Decoding Dust <\/em>\u2026 an availability to dreaming true, letting the spirit speak.<\/p>\n

One of the things I say to my creative writing students is, if you don\u2019t like solitude, you\u2019re in the wrong business. It\u2019s a double-edged experience because the reverse of solitude is loneliness\u2026 and loneliness is one of the epidemics of our time. There\u2019s loneliness and there\u2019s heartbreak in the voices that inhabit Decoding Dust<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I call the creative environment that you need \u201cthe greening,\u201d from Hildegard von Bingen\u2019s word, viriditas. <\/em>It means your space\/time should have signals of encouragement, music, artwork, light, films, a spiritual-imaginative nourishment that allows you to make associations and imagine stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m indebted to York\u2019s English department for the encouragement to teach my courses \u2013 on Visionaries, on McLuhan and Frye. The courses are my children, in a way.\u201d \u2013 B.W. Powe<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Q: What writers inspired you to write?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> When I read Thomas Mann\u2019s The Magic Mountain<\/em>, I thought: I want to write. Then I read Thomas Wolfe\u2019s Look Homeward, Angel <\/em>and Of Time and the River<\/em>\u2026 Virginia Woolf\u2019s The Waves\u2026 <\/em>Hermann Hesse\u2019s Steppenwolf<\/em>\u2026 They were extraordinary books for me. I read McLuhan at an early age, and Sartre\u2019s essays, Susan Sontag\u2019s books. They inspired my essays.<\/p>\n

The poets who spoke to me early on were William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Arthur Rimbaud and William Butler Yeats. And song lyrics: I was a fan of Bob Dylan and The Who\u2019s Pete Townshend. Patti Smith became another inspiring figure.<\/p>\n

Q: Who are your favourite poets? What are you reading now? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> Canadians, of course \u2013 I revere Anne Carson and A.F. Moritz \u2013 and many European, South American and Spanish poets. Rainer Maria Rilke, C\u00e9sar Vallejo, Octavio Paz, Pablo Neruda, Antonio Machado. I\u2019m currently reading Rub\u00e9n Dar\u00edo. He\u2019s Nicaraguan. I revere Federico Garcia Lorca and I\u2019ve been translating his lyrics. It\u2019s the way I teach myself Spanish. My wife is Spanish and she says that my translations are good. I think she\u2019s being nice. I\u2019m also reading Marilynne Robinson\u2019s trilogy, Gilead, Home<\/em> and Lila<\/em>, novels I admire very much. I\u2019m re-reading George Steiner\u2019s After Babel<\/em> on translation.<\/p>\n

Q: Can you speak to York\u2019s support for your work and how York fosters excellence?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> There has been very strong support. Recently, York funded a theatre project by the Dead\u00a0Tree Medium Group, which will transform Decoding Dust<\/em> into works for stage and video.<\/p>\n

A great thing York has given me is time. I\u2019m indebted to York\u2019s English department for the encouragement to teach my courses \u2013 on Visionaries, on McLuhan and Frye. The courses are my children, in a way. I suppose they\u2019re a little unusual in the curriculum, but they\u2019ve been encouraged. That kind of support on York\u2019s part has been remarkable. I should mention that [former] Dean Bob Drummond was very keen on having a creative\/scholarly mix in the English department, which has been maintained here extremely well. I\u2019ve found fine colleagues here too.<\/p>\n

The other great thing about being at York has been my students. I\u2019ve been blessed in attracting extraordinary students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that York University pays me to do this is one of the great gifts of the cosmos.\u201d \u2013 B.W. Powe<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Q: What\u2019s the advice you would give a budding writer in your class?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> Good luck! And courage, strength, stamina, inspirations and wisdom. Love what you do. Find the heart in it. Decoding Dust<\/em> was another attempt to put the heart on the page. The first ultrasound we saw of our baby last week was of her\/his heart. It was very moving. And I thought, well, that\u2019s kind of what we\u2019re doing here: trying to find a way to make the heart beat as loud as it can\u2026 to remind us how miraculous it all is.<\/p>\n

I encourage students to set aside time and delve. Take a poem or a story, and read it over and over. You\u2019d be amazed at how much awareness comes when you take time. I suggest: allow inspiration (from the Latin word inspiritus<\/em>) to enter you. The second word I use is entheos<\/em>, the Greek word for being filled with the Gods. It translates into our word \u201centhusiasm.\u201d Another word is, again, \u201cgreening:\u201d creating an environment in which awareness can deepen. The fourth word, duende<\/em>, I\u2019ve taken from the Spanish tradition. The word comes from Flamenco, meaning the rising to the moment.<\/p>\n

It seems to me a spiritual crime to go into a classroom and dispirit people. You need to lift them. But it\u2019s a two-way process: they inspire me, too. The fact that York University pays me to do this is one of the great gifts of the cosmos.<\/p>\n
