Abstract
In this clip, Shazia Hafiz Ramji discusses the circumstances of beginning to write Port of Being, her debut poetry collection and winner of the 2017 Robert Kroetsch Award for Innovative Poetry. She recounts a story of seeing a child interact with a public transit cop and how she noticed the various forms of surveillance in such a public space. She also describes visiting the Teck Gallery, where she wrote most of the poems in her collection. At the time of this interview, Ramji's collection was not yet released.
