I look in the rear vision mirror on my crocodile had gotten out of the box downward that ABC listen up today. This is David hostile on ABC Radio. Hey, it's 30 minutes past nine. Victoria. That's 13 minutes past seven in western Australia. You are with David Estelle and as you have just heard, possibly at the outset of the hour. Erik Jensen is my guest. He's a journalist. He's the editor in chief at the writer of that the The Saturday Piper and the author of a new collection off poetry called I said the Sea was folded. Eric, the book begins with a prologue. This is a story told backwards because that's how we start. Is that the same as the cooker Guard line of that We can only understand life backwards, but it must be lived forwards. Is it the same idea? Um, the other coach guideline. Everything contains its necessary opposite. I think holding Miro's help. It's more. It's more that than the other. Oh, It was the only way I could find to arrange the pants. Actually, I, um I decided Every year of our relationship. I give Evelyn chat book of poems that I've written that year and during the year Usually I get from a poem every few days. I write one. And I decided I wanted to publish them and thought that was enormous Act of love and didn't appreciate really Also, what a transgression of the relationship it would be to do that, and Not least of all because it forces Evelyn, who is a a non binary composer and has their own practice that is, there's forces them into a role of muse that they never asked to occupy. But as a on guy I think I didn't really understand because my whole life has been journalism which is built on the transgression of relationships, publish and be damned. Yeah, I didn't really understand how Um How much I couldn't avoid the essential male nous of my desire to publish things and the central mail nous of wanting the validation of writing is that my little vocational? I think I think it's it's Jen did to a degree in its but as I as I was putting them together and trying to find a way for them to make sense. I felt very trapped by them until I put them backwards. And then the echoes that were already there in our relationship started to reverberate, and I felt they made a lot more sense. There's that wonderful face and any mystery of the day New Month Ian Tying of the knot that sent us there you you should have started with the strands that is any third year relationship. And trace them back to the knot of your first meeting. This is almost like is it was in a sense that writing a book like this, which ultimately is a living in lyrical anatomy off a relationship. Your relationship with Evelyn. Is it about trying to fend them the relationship as much as anything? Because I wrote these poems. Very quickly and as they occurred to me, and I wrote them over the course of three years. I didn't really know that I was doing any fathoming, but I think Don't think of the palms is any different to my journalism. I don't think of writing a poem is very different to writing a political essay. And all of that. I'm just trying to understand the world as it happens. I think that Don Watson was saying something the other day that you know anyone who writes knows that when they write, they think And that's certainly true at the same time. Anyone who writes know that when you write you feel, and I think that was the thing that I was trying to never get it. It's not so much fathoming necessarily. But it is It is trying Make the world concrete when sometimes it feels otherwise. Didn't possibly neglected Thea the question, Which was the negotiation that would have taken place between you and Evelyn to have this book now in my hands. Because some may say this is being over sharing um, potentially a betrayal of a relationship, which is a very serious way of putting it, but certainly a Uh, adding scrutiny. Toe a private Place. How did that negotiate negotiation? Take place. Um I mean, we we talked about it. A little bit and probably not enough. Um I I You know, I have this overwhelming feeling that That love deserves always to be shared. And that's a knife feeling, and it's a feeling built to the fact that Love hasn't very often hurt me. And I think certainly I You know, I should. I should acknowledge that. It's not entirely fair. Published his poems, although I didn't really think about that hard enough until they were published. It's a rich and rewarding rude. It is a tender and empathetic road. There is nothing self centered about it, which seems to be your misgiving. It is a very generous it is a questing book, a book that tries to understand. Silva's much as the other and I think that we really remiss not to hear one of two examples of the palms that I was describing you just doing the song from Evelyn about. There's something quite beat. About these poems that have they Like it's like stream of consciousness, but it has to me this beautiful, evocative. Smattering clear data that's also surrounded by some some more mysterious and opaque elements. The your influences of support. I mean, if you Who has been one of them or seminal voices in for you growing up percent in terms of the lyrical mode. Um A poet who really made Me a poet was Kate Jennings, who who passed away at the weekend? Yes, Andre was An enormous figure in my life as a writer, and I was working on a project that was going to be a song cycle of her poems for the Melbourne Festival, didn't End up quite happening because schedules couldn't work. But in doing that Had tol transcribe. Ray type, very first collection of pardons. I did that about five years ago and In doing that. Had to live inside it to those palms and I realized what it what it was to be a potent how to be a poet and Kate and I talked a lot about what that was, and she is certainly the person who She was the first person after everyone to read these poems and is the person Made them feel like they were real. That wonderful Islamic would her fees. I think it is and the scholars who write the Koran and by writing they remember and understand that understand the depth Off off the Scripture sounds very similar to what you're doing with Kate Jennings poetry, certainly playing Hafeez. 21 past the hour. Every Jensen is my kiss. The book we are discussing is I said the sea was folded and Eriks Professional identity off journalist has been folded under by a new alteration as parts of pretty exciting book. For those reasons, Lyrics, Name and Eriks journalism is well known. But this is a celebration of Eric in the lyrical voice and also to a very personal Portrait off a relationship. Let's have a model, too. If we can Eric, the one that term I've picked out of some lovely started on these very short palms. And that's the one called listening, which is almost in the very early days off the relationship. Given that this is a A book that examines the three years in reverse.

Parts of kids up County and the Hood Canal could see a few and just sticking around sticking to the ground tonight and check out Portland, Portland saw bigger burst of snow, creating some message in slippery roads. California's taking the brunt of this system. Take a look at this satellite image. The heaviest snow is hitting the Sierra Nevada mountains. All right, so back to that sea back image, just like you forecast the hood Canal area, Kids up county and it's pretty impressive. Yeah, it's nice when a plan comes together and it obeys it goes according to plan. It is definitely the snow. We sighted the sound that West side they're close to the hood Canal. We're gonna talk all about why? That's the case tonight in just a moment, But this was the view over Silverdale. As captured by our chief Kobo news photographer Erik Jensen. He said there was enough snow at that point for a snowman or snowball. Rather, but not as no man. Not quite yet. We'll see how we do buy dog, but we do have a couple of issues out there. First of all, definitely on that wet tack West side of the kids, that peninsula we've got that sloppy snow coming down. We've seen some near the ocean beaches as well. What's pushing it over there. The howling Cascadia wins ripping through the foothills right now, and as things start to settle down, the winds die down overnight. We might have a few slippery spots here right closer to high five too. So a very complicated weather picture tonight. Remember on the radar imagery that blue matches up with snowfall and we've seen a lot of that today. No, the coastline, including near Grays harbor and back toward hope, whim. Warmer air, just starting to eat away at things. They're right near the immediate Pacific, but still a little bit of wet snow falling between Forks and Lake Crescent. The real spot dealing with some slippery conditions by now is certainly that west side of the kids have peninsula and then the eastern slopes of the Olympics. You can see all of that a snow coming down at this point from Brennan and Quill scene. All the way down toward to Julia and into Shelton tonight as well, and it's making some progress. We're seeing some of that snow working its way to the East here now, some wet snow coming down as well through Bainbridge Island. So we talked again about the winter weather advisory in place there for the kids happen, Insula, But you see, it's there in place for the southwest interior to the will of fails as well. And then all the way back over the Cascades. We're seeing a couple of inches of snow as we head into the overnight tonight too. In terms of the current temperatures thirties for most of us here, including over Bremerton, where it's just 34 degrees right now, But again, we're staying closer to the forties and downtown Seattle. So the view right now over downtown, it's just pretty quiet. We're seeing a little bit of occasional drizzle on a little bit of wet snow in the mix. It's 43 right now and again. It's the easterly winds which have been howling here through the Cascade foothills. To the tune of 30 to 45 MPH right now, picking up to nearly 30 out of Issaquah North Bend, gusting to 22. So against those easterly winds, pushing that snow toward the west side of the kids happen insula and creating that little snow engine there on that side of Puget Sound. Future cash shows when actually we mentioned that being an issue here overnight and into our Wednesday morning tomorrow, you can see some of that snow in play as we head into the next several hours there and again back toward Womack and into the Okanogan Plateau. We're going to see some of that snow piling up overnight to the tune of 3 to 6 inches as well. So keeps on coming there, whereas on this side of the Cascades is going to start drying out. Excuse me as we head into the overnight again Chili and enough of that wet snow on the kids outside that we could see some icy roadways there in the morning as we head into tomorrow afternoon temperatures back into the mid forties here around the sound so That's not the kind of cold air that's going to support the snow here in the lower terrain for very long, same for the ocean beaches. We're starting to see that warmer air taking over right now, where is in eastern Washington Temps back into the thirties there around Lakesha lan and when, actually Valley and so you're gonna have a few inches of snow there on the ground as we head into tomorrow morning. As a result, we've got this weather warning places we head into Wednesday morning, and that's because of that wet snow on the west side of the kids up Peninsula 1 to 3 inches of snow expected there the rest of us probably missing out for the most part this time around.
