Night Walk: Boreal Poetry Garden by Liz Zetlin

A short docu-poem featuring award winning Newfoundland artist Marlene Creates. Poet Liz Zetlin filmed Creates taking friends on a flashlight lit walk through her Portugal Cove boreal forest. Creates pauses along the way to read her boreal poems, The Rattling Brook Path and All the Sounds, each at the site of its inspiration. The Boreal Poetry Garden, says Creates, commemorates certain fleeting moments of my interaction with the land where I live. Words, bird calls, and river sounds meld into boreal forest, trip down well worn paths to the waterfall, flow into the river, where inspiration lurks like a moose. Her work resonates, full of astonishment, responding both to ever-changing beauty and the awareness of its inevitable loss.
