Another London
poems from a
city still searching for itself
26 London poets offer up what it’s like to live
as a resident of The Forest City. Whether
it’s the battle over the Springbank Dam (highlighted in R L Raymond’s Hoping for spring), everyday driving
frustrations (Frank Beltrano’s Car Wars),
a first-hand account of a recent, downtown guerilla poetry reading (as
showcased in Stan Burfield’s I am
standing on a crate reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti) or a visit to a variety
store of sorts in Historic Woodfield (Wayne Ray’s Hippie Trippie General Store), Another
London is a series of conflicts and contrasts, of making sense of the
present day while acknowledging there was a previous time when residing here
may have been more orderly and was questioned much less. Or perhaps it’s a way
to understand the dichotomy of the love/hate relationship so many of us have
with our current hometown, a city named after one much larger, more glamourous,
and with a far richer history than our own. Yet because of our humbler size and
standing, we clearly have a unique perspective on the world found nowhere else.
