The
Tuesday Poem this week is "Chernobyl Wedding, 1986" by Naomi Guttman:
Eileen
says about this poem:
Selecting a single poem from
this wonderful novella in verse, by Canadian poet Naomi Guttman, was no easy
matter. There are so many rich pieces, and they run the gamut from narrative,
to lyric, from free verse to form, all the way to prose poem. And as in any
fictional work, they shift point of view. I chose this pantoum from the
Prologue because it foreshadows the trajectory of a long marriage, that
survives life’s difficult events, whether personal or worldwide, but not
without a price.
