Tom Konyves has included a statement of mine on the glass of Surrey Art Gallery as part of curation of the POETS WITH A VIDEO CAMERA: VIDEO POETRY 1980-2020 exhibition (Sept 17 – Dec 11, 2022) … I’m honoured to see my thinking on poetry in such a fabulous form!
NO MORE POETRY THAT LOOKS LIKE POETRY, THAT ACTS LIKE
POETRY, THAT IS INSTANTLY RECOGNIZABLE AS POETRY; I
BELIEVE THAT POETS SHOULD LIKE TO WRITE IN A WAY WHICH
DOESN’T RESEMBLE WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE, THEY SHOULD BE
ABSOLUTELY CONTEMPORARY IN FORM AND CONTENT.
– Derek Beaulieu
Thank you to the Rocky Mountain Outlook for covering my receiving the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal: “Banff’s poet laureate receives platinum jubilee medal”
The Writers’ Guild of Alberta has announced the recipients from the provincial literary community of The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal, with the medals awarded on December 7th in Edmonton and Calgary.
I am honoured to be one of the recipients of this prestigious award.

THE MINUTE REVIEW, a small magazine, is now accepting submissions of reviews!
Reviews should be between 300-800 words (DOC or PDF file formats) and can be critical, creative, or conversational in tone but should focus on the discussion of experimental, risk-taking, formally-innovative editions of poetry, prose or non-fiction. I am also open to short interviews, or other forms which may seem appropriate.
Submissions for THE MINUTE REVIEW #7 by March 1st, 2023, and for #8 by September 1st, 2023.
Please note that the magazine is printed in B&W and so all images potentially submitted much be B&W, and will be scaled to fit within the page size.
As a tiny magazine, THE MINUTE REVIEW will be able to “pay” with a printed copy of the issue in which a review appears — and all issues will also be available online as free downloadable PDFs to help circulate the discussion of new writing.
Please send reviews for consideration to derek beaulieu at derek@housepress.ca …
