"I think I learned early on to see beauty in my environment, in things that aren't necessarily considered beautiful. I always appreciated rusty metal, rusted-out cars, I always thought they were really interesting. Things that were discarded. Trash, really. I found beauty even in the vandalism. And I think that that recognition early on to see beauty in your environment in places where it isn't generally seen or appreciated — I think that still affects my work."

author of Concrete Dreamland, easily one of my favourite books of the year
On Monday, 26th April, 1937, the Basque town of Gernika was bombed by fascists. A contemporary report stated that "the object of the bombardment was seemingly the demoralization of the civil population and the destruction of the cradle of the Basque race."
Immediately upon reading the news, Pablo Picasso, a Spanish painter then living in Paris, began work upon his canvas "Guernica," an excoriation of war's depredations, and elegy for its victims. On 12th July, 1937, this anti-war cri de coeur — now one of the best-known paintings in the world — was first made available to the public at the Spanish Pavillion of the Paris International Exposition. Among the painting's detractors was Germany's then Nazi government, which called it "a hodgepodge of body parts that any four-year-old could have painted."

My book Rotten Perfect Mouth is being reissued by Invisible Publishing next month. Here's what they say about it:
At the end of April we’ll be releasing a new edition of Eva H.D.’s Rotten Perfect Mouth. Originally released by Toronto poetry institution Mansfield Press in 2015, Rotten Perfect Mouth is one of our favourite books of poetry. Ever. We hope you’ll feel the same about Eva H.D.’s work as, say, Jessie Buckley, who wrote: “Eva is an extraordinary pirate queen who is restlessly on a quest to swim in the unchartered moments that often are hidden within the habitual monotony of the everyday.”
And here's what I say about it:
In 2015, @misterjohndoyle wrote in the Globe & Mail: “There is no greater verbal-sensual rush than discovering a great poet, and the mysterious Eva H.D. is that. Her poem ‘38 Michigans,’ an achingly bittersweet lament, won the Montreal International Poetry Prize, with the sole judge, Irish poet Eavan Boland, saying of it, ‘The whimsy itself suggests that grief has found a voice and is making its own reality with a devil-take-the-hindmost defiance.’ And the collection Rotten Perfect Mouth is a miraculous calling forth of melancholy, but drenched with dry wit, very Toronto and deeply musical. Poetry find of the year, easily.”
So I sent the paper a note, apprising Mr Doyle of my barshift schedule, inviting him to join us for a pint on the house. Turned out he was our neighbour. Now he's a regular, and a friend. This story is also, as it turns out, very Toronto.
