Death of Nobel Laureate Tomas Transtromer – a cento in homage by A. Garnett Weiss
When no one was looking
It happens in this or maybe that way:
Inside you opens up, vault after vault endlessly.I am not empty. I am open
and grow milder and wilder than here.Time streams down from the sun and the moon
with journeys in its claws.While the sleepless days relieved one another,
I have paid for what I ought to and have receipts for everything
heavier than life.I know the deep. Where one is both prisoner and guard,
everything living sings, stoops, waves, creeps.Cento gloss: When no one was looking

Cento by A. Garnett Weiss featured by Silver Birch Press
Silver Birch Press has honoured Garnett Weiss by publishing “Had a window” on September 4 in its series of found, free verse poems, based on an interview with a celebrity.
The source from which Weiss extracted words and phrases for the four-stanza piece was Richard Ouzounian’s “The Big Interview: Ryan Reynolds,” which appeared in the Toronto Star on August 23, 2014.
As Weiss explains, “I read the source material, extract phrases or words of interest, then live with them until a sequence emerges and then the poem clicks. I am delighted that “Had a window” has gained a place in the series which this imaginative press is posting through the whole month of September.
