Monty Reid will be reading from HOST, 2pm, Sunday at the Royal Oak II (by Ottawa U) at the Sasquatch Series. I expect those are his poems on the microscopic world and perhaps his new Gaspereau Press chapbook
The Plan 99 series will keep zipping ahead this year despite the new excitement deluge of poetry for Dave O’Meara with his jury work with Heather McHugh and Fiona Sampson.
Jaime Robles of Woodland Press was asked, “How has being an editor/publisher changed the way you think about your own writing?”
More than anything, hand typesetting affected my writing. There’s nothing closer than writing a poem letter by letter. I seldom hand set any more, but it was a great teacher.
That makes sense to me. So does the opposite. Since I started editing not by copying and pasting and changing, nor by transcribing and editing as I rewrote but trying to write it again from memory and see what stuck and what was lost and doing that tightened work more than working at the tight crop. Wide view also helps.
