"STAN BURFIELD"--a poem by Martin Hayter

6/19/2017

1 Comment

 
Picture
When Martin read this poem at London Open Mic (June 7th, 2017), it was intended as a tribute to me for founding the open mic and keeping it going these five seasons. But during that time Martin has come to know me so well--and is such a good poet--that listening to him read it was an astonishing experience for me, a bit like looking in a mirror, but much deeper, because what was being reflected wasn't the superficial me (which we introverts hardly notice anyway) but the inner me that I actually think of as myself. And it was so accurate! Here it is. --- Stan

STAN BURFIELD

Dreaming in science, he watches the brainwaves of REM sleep lining
the royal road to the subconscious, brighter with the logic filters off,
but from the eleventh floor balcony, he farms the nature of existence
in gardens of language, plowing through pages, his eyes lifting from

there to the sky, to gauge the rainfall, hoping for a harvest of poetry.
He shuffles through leaves, among the five pillars of wisdom reading
the trees, when his eyes stray to the discovery channel, where human
settlements line the tunnels of Mars, in computer-generated imagery.

Since his solitary pilgrimmages across Canada, exploring the foreign
parts of himself, since camping out rough in closed parks, wintering
in his own worst fear, and waiting for that wilderness inside to thaw,

still finding himself just shy of man, the dreaming scientist had found
instead the perrenial seeds of poetry, fielding memories into a prairie
with radiant horizons rushing out, taking him far from the farmhouse
his father built blind, to a tent and a book of poems read by flashlight.

And poetry became a kind of crop circle: he gathers people inside
the mystery of its existence, spiralling in its language, translating
the alien brought to earth, through poems tunneling, like black holes

filling with light: reasons here, for the readings on the event horizon,
and gradually shedding the husk of fear, he climbs storeys of stairs
to wonder again at the night sky, touching down in the dream state,

more accepting now of being, his apparent solidity, despite knowing
we're all just centres of gravity, where atoms constellate, with so much
space between, we could think ourselves alien, even unto ourselves

if we thought too obviously. Despite this, he hears what he listens to,
sees what he looks at, absorbs more of life now, keeping the ink wet
he once left drying in the distance, out of hearing of others who called

from so far away, he didn’t believe, and feared to believe, that they
were calling to him, until he circled back to claim his calling among us,
standing at the microphone, on the patio behind Mikonos, right here

the first Wednesday each month, for London Open Mic Poetry night:
his brainchild spoken for here. The farmer calls on the seasons of life
in generations of voices he announces by name, to a room in the world
his heart's made room for, marking his place in the leaves of grass.

No longer foreign on this mutual pilgrimmage to the podium, he reads
with humans he now stands among, paging the unknown, and moving
inward through prairies of poetry. Where we plant our feet can seem
a barren and solitary place of silence, but entering together, we bloom.

Guess who will get up on the stage to speak on Wednesday!

A while ago, I was wondering out loud about whom I should ask to introduce me at my featured reading at the June open mic (on Wednesday). My first choice was Kevin Heslop, but no harm going over other names as well. I was startled when Linda suddenly became very serious, stood in front of me, looked me in the eyes, and said, "I've been thinking I would like to."

She is the shyest person I know. I was shocked. I said, "Sure! Of course, if you're up to it." I loved the idea, but I could also imagine the fear she would be feeling, and the courage it would take for her to get up there in front of that room full of people.

She said she would take lots of time thinking about what to say, and then writing it, which she's doing today. I suggested that if, at the last minute, she thinks she's going to freeze up, she could always ask someone else to read it for her. But just considering doing it is a huge thing for her. Not only is she shy, she's not very word-oriented either. So transitioning from her normal visual mind to reading words, in the midst of fear, is going to be hard.

One thing that will help her is that, over these five seasons of manning the book table, she's come to know a lot of the people who regularly attend. She's told me they feel like family to her now. That can't hurt.

FOUNDER STAN BURFIELD TO FEATURE JUNE 7TH

5/14/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
The featured poet at the June 7th, 2017 London Open Mic will be the organization’s founder and organizer Stan Burfield. The June event is the last of his tenure, the culmination of five seasons of work. He will be passing the torch to co-organizers Mary Dowds and Kevin Heslop. Before his featured reading, he will be introduced by his wife Linda.
.
BURFIELD’S BIO:
​
 I was raised on a small farm in central Alberta. My first ambition, a very serious one, was to live alone in a log cabin as a trapper. That changed to farmer, then biologist, then journalist, then florist. 

In Calgary, I studied biology, then journalism. Amongst numerous more-nondescript jobs, I was for two years a reporter.
 
Then, over a four-year period, I went on some extremely long, arduous adventures by foot, canoe and bicycle, hoping they would break me out of my life-long shyness and anxiety. No such luck. So, having read that poetry was a possible route into the subconscious, which I assumed was the home of my anxiety, I took a poetry anthology out into a closed provincial park near St. John’s, Newfoundland. For a month and a half, I read, wrote and memorized poetry until it floated across the sky in my dreams. But it did nothing for my anxiety. 

In 1987, I married Linda, a flower designer, and we opened and ran a flower shop in Vancouver for nineteen years. 

When we sold the shop and semi-retired, we moved to London, Ontario in 2008 to be near our children and grandchildren. 

With more time on my hands, I revved up my poetry writing, and, as a form of shyness therapy, began attending Ron Stewart's excellent poetry workshop. When I got used to that, the next logical step in the direction of my fear was to find a place to read to an audience. Since there was no open mic for regular “page poets” in London then, I decided I would have to organize one. In doing so, the constant social contacts that were necessary turned out to be just the therapy I needed. The stress nearly killed me but I eventually got used to it, and by the fifth season had lost most of my shyness. After 62 years, I felt like I was stepping through a door into a completely new life.
 
In the process, my ability to write decent poetry has dramatically improved. And I have a place to read it!
 
RECOGNITION:
  • The 2014 Ted Plantos Memorial Award from The Ontario Poetry Society.
  • 2nd Prize in the 2014 Poetry London Poetry Contest.

FEATURED POETS LIST

3/3/2014

1 Comment

 
PictureJohn Tyndall featuring at the Jan. 3, 2013 event.
After more than a season and a half of London Open Mic Poetry Night events, over half of the local poets who satisfy our original criteria -- having had at least one book of poetry published --have read as featured poets. 

The following list (in alphabetical order) includes most of the remaining poets who fit that category. Most will read during Seasons 3 and 4. Only two have yet been booked into actual event dates for Season 3. 


Madeline Bassnett

Julie Berry
Patricia Black
Don Gutteridge
- National Poetry Month, Season 3, April 2015
Martin Hayter
David Hickey
Debbie Okun Hill
Penn Kemp - National Poetry Month, Season 2, April 2014
John B. Lee
Monika Lee - June 4th, 2014 (2nd season ender)
Gloria Alvernaz Mulcahy
Roy MacDonald - Oct. 1st, 2015 (kicking off 3rd season)
Dorothy Neilsen
Erik Martinez Richards
Peggy Roffey

If I’m missing anyone, please tell me. 

Obviously there are not enough poets in this list to feature for more than two seasons. Assuming we will be enjoying an existence beyond that, and there seems to be no reason why we won’t, then we have a problem. 

I knew from the beginning this would have to be solved somehow, at some point, and so by December of Season 2 I began to loosen up the criteria for featuring, letting the occasional poet from elsewhere read, the first being UWO’s then Writer-in-Residence NourbeSe Philip Soon I had a few more poets from outside the area booked in, all for seemingly good reasons.  However, it is becoming obvious that this is threatening to erode away our ideal of supporting and promoting the local community. So in future this will only happen if it’s not possible to get a local poet to feature for an event. 

Where will local features come from when all the poets on the above list have read? 

Some will feature a second time, especially if they have a new book out. Frank Davey will be the first to do this early in Season 3. Anyone who publishes a new book and wants to re-feature, just ask. 

We will be widening our local area somewhat. The list above includes the first two from this enlarged region: John B. Lee of Brantford and Debbie Okun Hill from Sarnia. Others will follow.

Also we will begin featuring poets who don’t have any books published, some of whom are very good. As the number of poets has increased and the number of publishers of poetry books has decreased recently, many of our best poets have given up on publication, or are paying for it themselves. We haven’t decided yet how to select which of these poets to feature. 

Occasionally we will feature something different than a single poet. For instance, in February we had four senior UWO English students with something written for the occasion. If anyone has a good idea for a special feature, something locally oriented, there’s no harm in asking.

FRANK BELTRANO KICKS OFF SEASON TWO

8/14/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
London Open Mic Poetry Night’s first featured poet of Season 2, on September th, will be Frank Beltrano. Frank is familiar to most London poetry afficianados, as he has been heavily involved in the scene here for the past eight years. He made a large contribution to the success of the open mic by suggesting, along with Andreas Gripp, that we use the  Mykonos Restaurant as our venue. Otherwise, we very well might be meeting in some dingy bar. 

 Frank Beltrano was born in Sault Ste. Marie on June 14th 1954. His first pet was a colourful and spirited banty rooster (see photo of Frank reciting one of his early poems to Banty). Frank’s grand parents were all born in various locals in Italy and came to Canada as teens and young adults. Frank’s father worked in the steel plant in the Sault for 45 years, and on weekends often slaughtered animals for area farmers (often taking young Frank along to experience the blood baths). Frank’s dad hated retirement and died a little sad at age 73 in 1995. Frank’s mother was always a stay at home mom, adept at cooking, cleaning house, and caring for her family. Also she had a home based business of making party cakes for birthdays, bar mitzvahs, all sorts of celebrations and weddings. Frank’s earliest childhood memories involve a lot of meat, Italian pasta and cakes. Also lots of fights with his big sister Linda, but they have both left those days behind. 

 As for education, Frank was always in the Catholic School system, grade schools run by nuns who stressed grammar drills and oratorical competitions, high schools run by priests who encouraged sports and debating societies. As a teenager Frank attended the Esposito brothers “Hockey and Poetry School” where he mentored under such poetic greats as Bobby Orr. Frank moved to Toronto in 1973 to attend the University of St. Michael’s College, U of T. run by more priests. He graduated from St Mikes in 1982 having taken part-time courses while working to support himself in Toronto. The most enjoyable courses he took while at the university were in creative writing taught by Prof. David Knight at Victoria College. Prof. Knight invited Frank to continue meeting in a writing workshop after his classes with David were over and the Childe Thursday writing group was formed. They met for over 20 years and also started the publishing company Childe Thursday Press. Two of Frank’s short stories were published in anthologies by Childe Thursday press in the early 1980s.

  In 1981 Frank married Marie-Claire Roussel and they have two daughters Victoria Ann and Julia. The late 80s and 90s saw a lot of jobs to put bread on the table but not much writing. Frank worked as a security officer and then a supervisor at the Royal Ontario Musem. He drifted into the locksmithing trade and did that for about 10 years. Those were very exciting times of long hours, adventure and reasonably good pay. 

 The Beltrano family have owned a number of houses and moved many times from Scarborough, now part of Toronto, to Oshawa, to Pickering, to Whitby and 8 years ago from there to Old South in London Ontario. In Toronto Frank was a member of the Childe Thursday group for about 5 years. In Whitby he joined the Durham Writers’ Circle until his move to London where he discovered the Poetry London community and has been an active participant in their events. 

Frank has recited poems from as long ago as grade one. In high school he wrote for the local paper the Sault Daily Star as a teen writer. He believed at the university that he was a short story writer who would eventually write novels, but after moving to London 8 years ago he has focussed on poetry. The first poem he ever sent out to a contest, “The Days of Angry” won an honorable mention and was published in Toward the Light in the summer of 2007. Since then he has been published in a number of collections and literary journals, had his poems on the London bus system and read publicly regularly in Ontario and at writing events in the States. 

He has been a workshop participant on many occasions and has organized workshops for others and taught adults creative writing at local art galleries. Frank's first book of poetry will be published soon. He and photographer Al Sugerman have teamed up to produce a poster of his award winning poem, “Like a River Might” and one of Al’s dramatic black and white photos. One thousand copies of that are being printed for sale. We may have them in time for the Sept. 4th reading. Frank is also working on a visual presentation of some of his poems from the Coffee Shop Author contest for which he took third place. He hopes to have a showing of that work in the fall of 2013. 

THE EVENT

WHERE: All of our reading events except the April one are held in the Mykonos Restaurant at 572 Adelaide St. North, London, Ontario. The restaurant has a large, covered terrace just behind the main restaurant, which comfortably holds 60 poetry lovers. Mediterranean food and drinks are available. The terrace is open to the parking lot behind. Overflow parking is available across the side street and in the large lot one block north, in front of Trad’s Furniture.

WHEN: September 4th. Music begins at 6:15, poetry at 7:00. 

LIVE MUSIC: The Light Of East Ensemble, a group of up to seven internationally-inspired musicians, will open the event at 6:15. The group will also play during the intermission and at the end of the event. The Light Of East Ensemble, a London-based instrumental group, performs music from the Near and Middle East, including traditional, folk, classical Arabic, Greek Rembetika, and modern urban music of the 20th century from regions such as Armenia, Greece (Asia Minor - Smyrni, and Konstantinoupoli), Turkey, and other Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria.

The Light of East Ensemble is the winner of the 2013 Jack Richardson Music Award, and the 2013 London Music Award in the category of World Music, also the winner of the 2011 Jack Richardson Music Award in the category of World Music and a London Music Award in both 2011 and 2008. The group’s music may not be what Western listeners grew up hearing, but the rhythms and melodies are instantly captivating and listeners are quickly drawn into the intensity of the music.

For many audio and video samplings
Audio tracks: From a Greek folk song                       
                          From a traditional Arabic song 

THE FEATURED POET, Frank Beltrano, opens the poetry portion of the event with a reading that begins at 7:00, followed by a Q&A.

OPEN MIC: Following the featured poet, there is about 1.5 hours of open mic, ending about 9:00 pm. Each poet has five minutes (which is about two good pages of poetry, but it should be timed at home). Names are selected at random, so there is no need to come especially early just to get on the list of readers.

RAFFLE PRIZES: Anyone who donates to London Open Mic Poetry Night receives a ticket for a raffle prize, three of which will be picked after the intermission. The prizes consist of poetry books donated by Brick Books and The Ontario Poetry Society. Donations are our only source of income. We still haven't paid off our initial debt.
