POETRY: ANNE WALK

SHE CLEARED HER THROAT

and on the other side
of the world the
dolphins swam in
canals and you
could see the bottoms of
the ponds again which
they said were dark for
sixty years


but it was only a wish
to make our sacrifice
seem bigger than it was
it was only the tears
of the Mother
drowning out
industry
After studying visual art at the University of Western Ontario, Anne Walk took a long hiatus before embarking on a career in writing. Anne is of mixed heritage, Haudenosaunee (Cayuga) and Hungarian, and is currently living in Guelph, Ontario. She has been published in Room Magazine and Humber Literary Review and has placed in the Humber Literary Review’s 2022 Emerging Fiction Writers contest and the Canadian Authors Association - Toronto’s  2022 Poetry Contest.
