About this episode

Douglas Burnet Smith is reading from his book Learning to Count at the Frontenac House launch of Dektet 2010. 'Always, in our best poetry, the hovering care for place. Douglas Burnet Smith hears landscape; he hears the way it resounds in the people who travel its subtle and complex surface. Landscape for Smith is a kind of musical instrument.' ?Robert Kroetsch http://frontenachouse.com/titles/single/learning_to_count/ The year 2010 marks the 10th anniversary of Frontenac House and the Quartet poetry series. To celebrate, Frontenac simultaneously published 10 poetry books: Dektet 2010. Titles were chosen by a jury of leading Canadian poets: bill bissett, George Elliot Clarke, and Alice Major using a blind selection process. Jury members did not know the identity of persons submitting manuscripts.
