In an interview after his wife's battle with breast cancer

"Poetry is meant to be a place to be ample and grateful to those nearest and dearest to our hearts".

Hard to watch this after today's news.




Terrible, terrible news. Glioblastoma took one of my mom's best friends a few years ago. She wasn't supposed to live for longer than a few months and made it over 3 years. It was not a good road.

Gord made it cool to be weird, to be Canadian, to be a poet. In my mind, anyways. Not sure if one gets well from terminal brain cancer, especially after what I witnessed with my "auntie". Unsure what to say other than I hope he stays around long enough to feel the love from his fans on this last tour, and that he doesn't suffer.

You've given a lot to everyone in your work. Thank you.

Here's my favourite weird little piece that I've seen of Gord's.
