She left her home there on Wellington Heights for Toronto. From youth, to mothering, to writing, for Christakos living's fullness is also, inevitably, disembarking, leaving. "That's how paragraphs go / on the balls of their pink feet directly / into traffic." The movement is a continually sensuous welling--from pink, through purple, to blue. Purple is the colour of narrative, the middle place where the poet's well-honed attention to language and its deliberateness shapes well the pink lyric memory welling up out of the blue shadowy well of what's "in store." Your Scrivener Press, 2010 On Welling: “Children of the Revolution.” Stevie Howell, Arc, April 3, 2012 online: “Without a trace of sentimentality, Christakos looks backward, and forward, and shows us what needs to be done, and how to navigate the terrain.” “The art of living better linguistically,’ Judith Fitzgerald, The Globe and Mail “The Daily Review” online. August 30 2010: “The consummate perfectionist's exhaustive attention, everywhere on dazzling display (re-turning to unforgettable — albeit unforgiving — vistas), felicitously recasts her narrator's early years and makes of Welling a journey not unlike Derek Walcott's Another Life or Wordsworth's Prelude... a spectacular achievement enhanced by a formidable talent coming to fruition, contains some of the finest poems to appear in print in recent memory.” “This Book Can Hold Our Whiskey: A Review of Welling.” E. Martin Nolan, The Puritan, April 2010: “…reaffirms Christakos’ ability to flirt with both chaos and argument while finding space to dance between the two….These are not formalist poems, but the poet has complete control over the rhythm of these lines and the cadences therein. Christakos does not dominate these poems so much as she works with their natural energy and harnesses their power.” Heather Milne, Canadian Literature, Spring 2011: “These poems engage with temporality, memory, presence and absence, as the poet revisits her past while also foregrounding her present life… [R]ather than simply writing lyric poems, Christakos develops poems that invoke and interrogate lyric voice and poetic language. Christakos is attuned to the scene and process of writing, and to the expectations writers and readers bring to poetic language. [P]erhaps with this text, Christakos will find the wider audience her work deserves.” A Globe 100 Book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1628185276286-WNJPRRV2SPD1R1DXC3I9/9781771122979_cover1_rb_modalcover.jpg Books - Space Between Her Lips: The Poetry of Margaret Christakos Space Between Her Lips presents the first selected works of one of Canada's most important poets of the last few decades. Margaret Christakos writes vibrant, exciting, and intellectually challenging poetry. She plays language games that bring a probing and disturbing humour to serious themes that range from childhood and children to women in contemporary techno-capitalist society to feminist literary theory, and so much more. Gregory Betts’ introduction to the collection highlights Christakos’s formal diversity and her unique combination of feminist and avant-garde affinities. Indeed, Margaret Christakos is a whole-body poet, writing with the materiality of language about the movement of interior thought to embodied experience in the world. Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1594259089755-QEE76ZDUUQ7I0PV3LZ1O/other-words-for-grace.png Books - Other Words for Grace “Margaret Christakos begins with the particular, the epiphany in the body, and spirals outward into a compelling and honest examination of what it means to be young and female in our culture.”— Lola Lemire Tostevin: " Mercury Press, 1994 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1594260378366-PA3RLA7Q8GWYVS94MY66/wipe-under-a-love.png Books - Wipe Under a Love Margaret Christakos' fourth poetry collection playfully filters the refrains of domestic experience through an ever-shifting procedural sieve, rendering a series of ground-out texts which lift the vernacular to the plane of exuberant bliss. A woman's kaleidoscopic self-image emerges where memory and culture double back on each other amidst the practical realities of needing to leave the scene of mothering in order to write at all. The lover within the mother is invited throughout to speak and deliver herself through a series of impassioned memoirs to an exhilarating and complex embrace of the present. The Mansfield Press, 2000 On Wipe Under A Love: Arc, Chris Turnbull, Summer 2002: “Christakos’ poems process collage in all its meanings, revamping the sexual: the personal and language’s lurid tryst and performance. These poems are something else. Becomingly so, they evade random sampling as meaning; they have their own forceful wonder, impact behind the eyes.” The Fiddlehead (Spring 2001): “wipe.under.a.love should be valued as an extremely careful working out of an experiment; those who love conceptual art will find Christakos’ method provocative and witty.” The Sudbury Star, Arts Section, Rob O’Flanagan, 2 Sept 2000: “wipe.under.a.love makes us claw at the brain and at the heart, and it has this capacity even though it refuses to our conventional expectations. This certainly says something about Margaret Christakos’ power as a poet.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1628184653610-X66NJN76QE70TB6K7RUA/dear+birch+at+the+amphitheatre.jpg Books - Dear Birch, “Attachment is the puzzle.” Three years after her mother’s death and on the brink of a break up, a bisexual writer sits in the company of an urban birch tree, auditing the odds of new loves entering her future. So begins Dear Birch, an intimate poem cycle that improvises within the permutability of grief, wind, reading, refusal and desire, listening for an ethos of ongoingness. Synthesizing memoir, votive and epistle, Margaret Christakos displays her trademark fidelity to writing as attentive process, imbuing her work with the polyamory of tender intelligence.

In Sooner, Christakos's most tender, lucent book to date, we find the delusory spiral reasoning of artistic schools; the fluid politic of desire, gender and domesticity; the recurrent trials of revulsion and arousal — all shined through Christakos's unique prismatic style to emerge in new, striking and often dissonant syntaxes. Coach House Books, 2005 On Sooner: “Read this: Sooner.” Trish Salah. This Magazine, Mar-Apr 2006: “Under the strobe of a mobile and desiring intelligence, Sooner’s seven segments yield both narrative and jump-cut poetic sequences languaging the world in gorgeously crisp, clipped and recombinant syntax….Sooner is lush and lucid in inscribing the ways being sexed, however variously, orients and inscribes knowing and writing. ” “Blk, Wht, Read All Over.” Crystal Hurdle. Canadian Literature no. 192, Spring 2007: “Christakos is inventive…disquietude increases in "Lucent," a brilliant, haunting sequence, focusing on a modern-day Prufrock…voyeuristically compelling sequence demands rereading and becomes richer each time…the penultimate section, "Retreat Diary" is mordantly funny with its ungendered subject he/she…a larky exploration of sexual and writerly drives….” The Underground Book Club, Michael Bryson. July 24, 2009: “I want poetry to be sceptical about its insights and conclusions. But I also want poetry to be something other than another layer of advertising, technical lingo or other form of 21st century linguistic falseness….Recently, therefore, I was pleased to discover Sooner (Coach House Books, 2005) by Margaret Christakos, which reminded me how wise, funny, irritating, insightful, dull, confusing, sexy, marginal, neurotic, blissful and mind-blowing poetry can be.” Shortlisted for the Pat Lowther Memorial Award. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1594256421415-S190ZBZRQQSP1UBCD229/herparaphrenelia.png Books - Her Paraphernalia How does a contemporary woman write a life’s umbilical attachments to the lives around her, lives formed in and by other histories and times, relations living and dying and dead? How does she see what remains her own, despite midlife’s losses? Formed of ten intimate études that move from considerations of mothering, sex and photography to settler bloodlines, erasure and divorce, Her Paraphernalia: On Motherlines, Sex/Blood/Loss & Selfies profoundly embodies the feelings of living as a woman and a mother in all its tumult and precocity and promise. At once daring, erotic and original, Her Paraphernalia explores the beauty of the selfie, menopause, daughters, lust, solo travel, depression, the death of a parent, the writing life and women’s transgenerational vitality, among other interwoven themes. Bookhug, 2016 On Her Paraphernalia: See “The Lucky Seven Interview”—http://open-book.ca/News/The-Lucky-Seven-Interview-with-Margaret-Christakos Julie Joosten: “Speaking as the editor of this book, one of the things I most love about Her Paraphernalia is the book’s intimacy with risk, its willingness not only to take risks but also to inhabit risk, on the levels of form, sound, time, history, and self-exposure.” http://towncrier.puritan-magazine.com/her-paraphernalia/ Vagabond City, 2016: “If you’re looking for an honest, beautifully written read about love, loss, familial relationships and everything in between, look no further than Her Paraphernalia. Christakos opens the book with a definition of paraphernalia as “property owned by a married woman apart from her dowry, for example her own things,” and what we find beyond this introductory page is a detailed account of what is entirely, uniquely, solely hers.” Watch a reading from the book: https://youtu.be/JRAZYxEHXp0 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/08c2c9b6-30f9-4554-aab0-fea98456a115/That+Audible+Slippage+cover.png Books - That Audible Slippage That Audible Slippage invokes a poetics of active listening and environmental sound to investigate the ways in which we interact with the world, balancing perception and embodiment alongside a hypnagogic terrain of grief and mortality. Many of the poems try to hold spaces for the slipperiness of the heard and unheard and the not-yet heard. This intriguing and probing work of sound-illuminated poems welcomes readers into its overlapping worlds with grace. University of Alberta Press, 2024 “For maximum benefit, read That Audible Slippage out loud, and you will hear the whirr of birds, the click of Facebook posts, and a radical mind awake to its own listenings and jostlings within the rivers of the body and the body of the world. However you read this book, you will feel yourself hearing anew. “ — Ronna Bloom “Within That Audible Slippage each measure of the text invites a deeper hearing, in an entrancing dance of sounds vividly musical and politically astute. Twinned ironic anchors of popular culture and natural silence yield by turns whispers, yells, and experience.” — Sheila Murphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1594259376558-QZFWQX56U1LR8ZHJ42O1/the-moment-coming.png Books - The Moment Coming An elaborate meditation on the challenges to the female self and the long-term partnership of raising a child, this work is a compelling, personal interrogation of both the notion of family and parenting. From the intersection of technology and the lyricism of landscape in “The Seating Place (Not Aided by a Computer),” a poetic cycle written against the backdrop of a Georgian Bay summer that becomes a reckoning with her family of origins and the birth of her first child, to the confrontation of un- and less-spoken struggles in “Bringing You Up,” Christakos charts a new poetic terrain. Over the course of this book, she describes the complex and passionate realm of responsibility and accountability. ECW, 1998 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1594258740797-GHQGDL8683ZL9XUW45UN/what-stirs.png Books - What Stirs Where does the fragile, robust self reside when 'personal' voice is sent out online into an ironic masquerade ball of alias identity and wanton proxy? What stirs us? Can there be anything authentic about feeling anything anymore? In What Stirs, Margaret Christakos looks at our primal appetite for attachment through the modern norms of codependency and co-existence, understanding that the postmodern digital era has created an atmosphere where the vulnerability and tenderness of the individual are both profanely exposed and brazenly reinvented with the arrival of virtual identity. Coach House Books, 2008 On What Stirs: “Meredith Quartermain reads “Queen” from What Stirs.” Lemon Hound, Nov 14, 2008: “Christakos adroitly cross-cuts interestingly archaic language (“eyed the silver scissor” “moat” “trounce” “course” “flesh”) with erotic and sensual language (eg. “burns”) as well as startling images. This is Pope’s “Rape of the Lock” revisited with a vengeance.” “Margaret Christakos: Latches, Hyphens, & Dashes Oh My.” Harriet, The Poetry Foundation. Sina Queyras. April 8, 2010: “…she is a master of the recombinant text, creating bitingly satirical and luminous collages of mostly self-generated, occasionally google-generated, material….One of the powerful forces at work in Christakos is the complicated representations of motherhood and domesticity.” “Christakos’s contrarian constructions.” Eclectic Ruckus (review blog), Douglas Barbour. Dec 31, 2010: “...a single & singular book, held together by both Christakos’s continuing interests & a subtle redundancy of imagery & reference. What Stirs is a fine addition to her oeuvre.” Shortlisted for the Pat Lowther Memorial Award. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1594258865658-MRVZ2U8KMR5TU8LDI7U5/excessive-love-prostheses.png Books - Excessive Love Prostheses The heart, writes Margaret Christakos, is 'a public organ of private damage.' The poems in Excessive Love Prostheses confess, rather than deride, the complexities of contemporary desire, describing a subject that is both public and private, physical and virtual. Excessive Love Prostheses takes the confessional lyric poem and runs it through Kathy Acker's Cuisinart. Christakos shapes a sensory surfeitry of pornography, cautionary nursery rhymes, mothering, bisexuality and the paradoxes of feminism into poignant analogies for contemporary obsessions and ailments; here are the voices of construction workers, staple sorters, obstetricians, video technicians and others, shattered and sorted by a practiced writerly hand. The result is a near-ecstatic tribute to the hyper-embodied intelligence of a new millennial subject. Coach House Books, 2002 On Excessive Love Prostheses: The Danforth Review, Jennifer Dales, 2003: “Christakos explores motherhood, hetero- and bi-sexuality, the lives of oddball characters and the struggles of adult life through intense, emotionally alive verse and prose poetry, which she continually turns inside-out and upside-down by repeating fragments of poems in connection with their wholes.” “Women of Words.” The Globe and Mail, Sonnet L’Abbe, Nov 2, 2002: “The sum of Christakos's work is, in many instances, as formally and conceptually brave as internationally celebrated Montreal poet Anne Carson's; maybe this book will be the one to snap the recognition gods to attention.” The Georgia Straight, Billeh Nickerson, Sept 2002: “[It] begs the question, Is Margaret Christakos the love child of David Cronenberg and the queen of the confessional poets, Sharon Olds? … Much of this writing shocks for its originality.” The Calgary Herald, 2002: “Beautifully restrained poetry shot through with sardonic humour and rendered even more interesting by Christakos’s seriously playful manipulations of language.” Quill & Quire, Patrick Woodcock, July 2002: “Christakos is a talented poet who is capable – as many poems in this collection illustrate – of writing beautifully about even the most tragic of situations.” “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” Poetics.ca #2, rob mclennan, June 2003: “Christakos’ poems are built like microcircuitry – no matter how close you get, there is still another level of breaking down, of weaving and intricate movement. There are no flat surfaces, or endings here. She knows how to fragment the poem and then widen, scalpel and explore her life, and the language of her life in art, in an increasingly generative series of texts, defining and redefining.” Winner of the ReLit Award for Poetry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1594258959329-GNZ4CNLMX13KVG374O4V/charisma.png Books - Charisma Nominated for the 2001 Trillium Book Award, Charisma is the first novel of celebrated Toronto poet Margaret Christakos. Christakos's work has been called "provocative, original and dazzlingly intelligent." A lush, language-centred novel tracing themes of female subjectivity, mothering and bisexuality. Pedlar Press, 2000 On Charisma: Xtra!, Maureen Phillips, 3 May 2001: “Emotional intrigue made poetic,” “The Poetry of Sex,” The Globe and Mail, Jim Bartley, 3 March 2001. ““Poetic Justice,” NOW Magazine, Susan G. Cole, 18 Jan 2001: “NNNN.” Quill & Quire, Mary Soderstrom, November 2000: “…an edginess that signals the reader to consider the relationship between violence and passion.” Shortlisted for the Ontario Trillium Book Award. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1594256073148-1URNT7NA5TFP3ZC3EQMV/charger.png Books - charger A moving new collection from award-winning poet, novelist, critic, and creative-writing instructor Margaret Christakos, charger considers the plugged-in self fuelled by the technologies that deliver us to each other. A deeply humane poetic cycle in twelve sections, charger grapples with the complicated currents that course between private and social, between mortal and virtual, and between estrangement and belonging to the natural world amid our fallacies of unlimited sustainability. With notes of memory and mourning for those we love and lose, this poetry contemplates how we resuscitate each other amid the speeding electronic webscapes now so common to our social conduct. Talon Books, 2020 On charger: rob mclennan: “The lyric cycle charger is built as a cascade, even a pulse, of fragments that ebb and flow across the page to write on connection and disconnect;… In charger, [Christakos’s] lyric staccato is stretched out, pulled apart and allowed the space to breathe… The intimacies of her approach continue… across the spectrum of social media and how that alters the ways in which connections are made, seeking out the point where human considerations might concurrently scatter, fractal and meet.” https://alllitup.ca/Blog/2020/DiscoverVerse-Margaret-Christakos-charger#topofpostcontent Watch a reading from the book: launch — https://youtu.be/aKNzRlCVjzA charger 12 — https://youtu.be/cyWWW0PyJ3Q https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1594258709369-WU78MVOENDK33IOITI0E/multitudes.png Books - Multitudes Multitudes is a moving, witty, poetic foray into a modern frontier of public spaces, poetic forms, private longings and virtual relocations. With her trademark linguistic sonar, Christakos amplifies the capacity of language to discern an almost inherent swingdoor between 'moaning' and 'meaning,' while casting a discouraged eye on how human discernment is used to rigidify recognitions, inviting citizens to turn from ethical social activism to snitch on their Facebook friends after an urban hockey riot. Coach House Books, 2013 On Multitudes: “Starred review: Multitudes.” Quill & Quire Jason Wiens. Dec 2013: “…in Christakos’s work the public and private are emphatically not separate. Multitudes provides readers with a poetics well tuned to rearticulate an insistently present tense.” “Imagine if Whitman knew about Facebook.” Winnipeg Free Press, Jonathan Ball, Oct 26, 2013: “The tension between the new forms of expression that technology allows, and how an increasingly technological culture bleeds from these expressions their political force, enervates her poems.” “Margaret Christakos, Multitudes.” rob mclennan’s blog, Oct 3, 2013: “…revels in polyvocal syntactic play, utilizing repetition, reorder and the abbreviated language of Twitter to engage a poetry of social spaces, ranging from responses to Jack Layton and Lena Dunham to an engagement with the social and linguistic disconnect of social media itself.…Christakos’ work might be seen by some to be difficult, or about difficulty, but with such playful ease that it becomes impossible to not be swept up in her glorious music. “ https://lemonhound.com/2013/11/22/bronwyn-haslam-on-margaret-christakoss-multitudes/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1628186435674-8DZDFG9BAGUV5H8RP7T3/image-asset.jpeg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1628187801283-2KF8VLZDBL1ZG7L6GYWS/image-asset.png Books - A few chapbooks with all my heart i heard u speaking.

And we communicate and wrestle and dance with communication and the problem/possibility of communication through (social) media, language, received notions of self, our culture and the world.” —Gary Barwin https://www.margaretchristakos.com/next daily 0.75 2025-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/20ab31c9-a1bd-491d-9d4a-d1f77ba75b23/Screen+Shot+2024-06-17+at+8.30.43+PM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/d6069999-a012-4166-97ca-493710b6357b/Aro+Ha_0387.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/b55af681-d93c-41d9-ae37-ab4e258e9f26/Screen+Shot+2024-06-17+at+8.52.11+PM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1624032206203-S46UCE82X83E6GOAT4ZR/Screen%2525252BShot%2525252B2021-06-18%2525252Bat%2525252B11.38.31%2525252BAM.jpg Next I was tinkled-pink to act as editor for Gail Scott’s sleek, packed, scintillant, keen Permanent Revolution: Essays published this May 2021, from Bookhug. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1614877315347-HBBAI46VDHEJ3RXZLQP7/the+presence+of+the+distant+just+now+4+Mar+2021+%23instantmind.png Next - presence of the distant just now #instantmind This piece considers my own archive of time and/in writing while wagering an ongoing unsayability of the just now. The piece “began” with a new improvised text framed within a scale of two uneven proximities: “so it happens in an utterance / an instance / an instant // it is a happening / it happens / it opens // sounds go to words / clarify into words / wounds leak out” This text, doubled, creates a diagrammatic biomorphic reference to the twin body, both brain and breasts, situated with a time signature of 4 Mar 2021 — date of visual utterance only. The audibility of the image depends upon auralized reading, as a form of listening and also as a form of waiting. The first text cited from my own archive (from Not Egypt, Coach House, 1989) invokes a halfway lake in northern Ontario which is literally bisected by a bridge, and which I travelled across with my father on Oct 12 1985 (I was 23). I was writing in my sketchbook in the passenger seat next to him as he drove, grappling with the way our shared silences on long drives enmeshed in me a bifurcated comfort and unsettledness within an ongoing presence of the father. This approximation of consciousness and the unconscious as two lobes always activated in improvisatory poetry writing was already a continual gesture of effort in my work. However, the feminist and language-writing diaristic impulse in the mid-1980s contains a kind of private interiority and concrete materiality that has been torn open by the social mediated digital frenzy of confession, reportage, self-surveillance, and anxious object impermanence of what is considered endemic to the present now. The second archival text is a section page from Sooner (Coach House, 2005, therefore 20 years “later”), a collection which uses hyperlengthy queer (in that pronouns and gender identities are processually recombined) narrative word-counted poems to investigate my apprehensile relationship with romanticist nostalgia and experimental feminist subjectivity of being in-the-present in one’s time/era/political context, and the temporalities of waiting in/and desire (soon, sooner, not-yet, simultaneous). The section “Waiting” houses the long poem “Waiting,” a pseudo-literary comic-ironic talk on proper short story form, traversing sexual arousal, domestic undoing, and care relations of maternal ongoingness. The self-epigraph for the book is “And if this is the ending/ you know how you got here,” one of many paradoxical declarations about the recombinatory consciousness of being in time as a kind of embodied self-memory. The section epigraph borrows two lines from other poems in the collection, “Breasts still make out / the present of the distance,” with its embedded pull toward the always-also-desired and the elasticity of a constantly movemental experience of time itself resetting what is present and distant in the perspectival self. Today I am assembling an intermingling of these just nows with the always already obsolete, self-gobbling erasure which is our operation of digital time — a core product of capitalist time — a signal a priori temporality that rules our every waking recapitulation into fragmented bits of what is happening even as it has no longer happened and through which our notion of living a continuous leakage of waiting as being is time-stamped, traceable, surveilled and aligned with the doubled probabilities of organic all-time and global end-times… Thus I retrieve and scribble with my gestural “hand” — the way one would refute an errant charge on a receipt or doctor a leave-of-absence note — in bloody red, with the body’s leakage… 4 Mar 2021 [these thoughts also moving with the thinking around and inside time I have been listening with in many a Zoom reading/panel, especially by Laurie Anderson, Fred Moten, Layli Long Soldier, Candace Hopkins, Dionne Brand, Divya Victor, Sara Ahmed, several panels on Eva Hesse, and conversations with Marusya Bociurkiw on her work on the feminist archive…among many other intermingled propositions…] #instantmind is an ongoing poetry/visual online project I have been composing and proposing since about 2010… [and yes, there is a slippage from “sounds’ to “wounds” — it happened… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f064c50bc73cd66056d3bce/1597513304460-SSPLO3UELPUCHZ80ELRA/Christakos+with+Charger+August+2020.jpg Next - charger Birthed as the lockdown charged in, my new poetry collection charger was lovingly published by Vancouver’s Talonbooks in the Spring of 2020.
