1/26/2020 POETRY: KIM FAHNERREADING THE MURMURATIONS In the end times, they say, the birds might silence themselves, drop feathers as hints, molt at odd times, and mate with their fiercest rivals. But the days will arrive without warning– no bells rung with symbolism, no trumpet voluntary flourish, no drums rolling attendant. They will have already arrived, these muted and too quiet days, dressed in common clothing and pretending to fit in– silencing mothers and lovers as they come, trailing catastrophe in their muddied wake. Kim Fahner was the fourth poet laureate for the City of Greater Sudbury (2016-18), and was the first woman appointed to the role. Her latest book of poems is These Wings (Pedlar Press, 2019). She is a member of the League of Canadian Poets, the Writers’ Union of Canada, and a supporting member of the Playwrights Guild of Canada. Kim blogs fairly regularly at kimfahner.wordpress.com and can be reached via her author website at www.kimfahner.com
