Scope and content
This is a sound recording of an interview with Carolyn Gammon on Matrix Radio, CINQ [see also 10-202 for more information about this radio show]. Gammon speaks about her education, including completing graduate school in Creative Writing at Concordia, as well as her writing, which she began age 11. She describes trying her hand at prose and non-fiction due to the difficulty to convey political and activist thoughts in poetry only. Carolyn reads aloud three poems: "The Unaffectionate Gammon" and "Basic Feminist Lessons, Man Hating, for Patrizia," and "An Unserious Poem." Carolyn and the host discuss coming out and the experience with family. Carolyn also mentions how a lot of her poems are very political and cover various topics such as lesbian and STDs [sexual transmitted diseases], violence against lesbians, and lesbian only places. This second poem is also a response to the Polytechnique Massacre. Carolyn further speaks on her main audience as the general public of lesbians and censorship. Music that plays during this radio show includes "Straight Girl Blues" by Jamie Anderson [at 12:48] and "Lay Me Down" by Heather Bishop [which plays after the end of tape]. [Side B of the audiocassette tape was not digitized as it did not include any audible sound].
