Special thanks to The Miramichi Reader for featuring Robert Colman in conversation with Bren Simmers on the Power of Form in Loss.

“In 2024, Bren Simmers and Robert Colman both published books of poems centred on familial loss, with both tackling, in part, a parent’s struggle with dementia. Beyond very similar titles—The Work (Simmers) and Ghost Work (Colman)—both poets brought to the topic a fascination with the power of form.”
