I love this. Pearl has caught the essence of catness, (borrowing Rosemary's word)indeed.<br /><br />I happen to know Pearl in her 3-D persona, as we both call the Ottawa area home, and I love her quirkiness and the risks she takes in her poems. And she is a generous person with her time and her knowledge, so it is good to see her recognized, too!<br /><br />CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-3610103758598683212012-08-11T07:23:47.559-04:002012-08-11T07:23:47.559-04:00Thank you Rosemary - what a delight to meet Pearl ...Thank you Rosemary - what a delight to meet Pearl Pirie ( and no, not only because it is unusual to meet another Pearl out there!). Your description of her as a poet quoted from "another context" above it a poem in itself - Pearl Pirie's poem here so delicious and silky it has my arms reaching out for more! Thanks again - will be seeking out Pearl with eager anticipation. Welcome Pearl - hope to see more of you here - will seek you out where you "live" :)Dr. Pearl Ketover Prilik (PKP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15506538737806033824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-63709701207905084662012-08-10T16:08:09.070-04:002012-08-10T16:08:09.070-04:00I'm glad, Sherry, She's worth knowing abou...I'm glad, Sherry, She's worth knowing about! I love that her work is never predictable. I once said of it, in another context: '"She’s quirky, humorous, compassionate, clear-seeing, and she always finds the most interesting conjunctions of words to convey an essence.'Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-14877358522859821342012-08-10T15:55:58.854-04:002012-08-10T15:55:58.854-04:00Yes, in writing abut this one cat and their relati...Yes, in writing abut this one cat and their relationship, she captures catnesss.

She has made an amazing stir for one still so young. I'm so glad her talent has been recognized. I always enjoy your Friday poet series, and really enjoyed hearing about a Canadian poet.
