Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:
I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.
Brian Wood joins me again. The literary agent and poet has just published a new collection of poetry, Zen in Beverly Hills. It’s a collection that reflects what’s in the author’s mind and heart. You have ruminations on grief, the losing of a pet, how we react to loss, how we mourn, even those we’ve never met. I’ll ask Brian about faith, the part that religion has played in his life, and how it’s influenced his writing and his use of language. We’ll talk about writing poetry, and how he finds the time amidst his successful career as a literary agent. I’ll ask him how the book business is doing as well. The website for more is at www.brianjwood.com. This new book is published by Equation Books. He joined me from Guelph, Ontario, ten days ago. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program, Brian Wood; Mr. Wood, good morning.
