Golden Anniversary
Carolyn Zonailo
The Poem Factory/Usine de Poeme
Vancouver, B.C.
1992
Dedicated to Zonailo’s parents on their 50th Wedding Anniversary,
this chapbook of poems is a celebration of love. The poems take
us back to the poet’s childhood and mythologize a life.
Critical Praise for Golden Anniversary
“These poems, only a handful, explore childhood memory
and capture the magic of a child’s sense of perception.”
Ed Varney, The Poem Factory/Usine de Poeme

... |
| |
| Poetics |
| CZ is a visionary poet who writes with compassion and
careful detail about the world she lives in. |
| |
| Publications |
 The
Goddess in the Garden combines mystical insight and sensual language
to evoke a timeless meadow where humans and deities play out eternal passions.
|
| |
| Reviews |
| She draws on her study of mythology, astrology, and
Jungian psychology, for a seemingly inexhaustible source of imagery. |
| |
| Interviews |
| There is a quality in her work which makes all her
poems hers, but Zonailo’s style does differ. Compendium
is a collection of short, lyrical poetry; Zone 5 of prose. Each
book is an extension of her poetic exploration and a separate expression.

| Articles |
| Over the years of sitting in Grant's Cafe or the Europa
and talking poetry with Lewis Gretsinger, the questions have been asked:
why write? what are you saying? what are your poetics? |

Kwaday Dan Sinichi
He is a sign for our times, / a blessing. In the transience / of everyday,
we forget / the history of human life / and cannot see the future. / Now
this forgotten man / lives in each of us / and we are also in action / yet
waiting / to be gathered home, / the future ready to spring / from our bones. |
