Virgula Share McCallum speech and silenceIn Virgula, Sasja Janssens award winning collection, the comma becomes much more than a punctuation mark; it stops the stillness and allows thoughts and language to move forward. Virgula is invoked as a muse and a companion; she is called on in every poem, as if she were a goddess, friend or lover, someone who offers space when the emptiness becomes too heavy. Virgula received the Awater Poetry Prize and was nominated for the Ida Gerhardt Poetry Prize
