From Ursula Vaira of Leaf Press:

Welcome to Overleaf, a chapbook manuscript competition which awards contracts to one Canadian and one international poet each year.

Winners will receive 50 copies of their copies of their chapbook as well as publicity and $100.00 to put towards refreshments for a launch party in their home town.

Everyone who enters will receive a poetry book of their choice from the Leaf Press catalogue
(by return post, shipping paid). Click here for a link to the catalogue.

Chapbooks are designed with the fine attention to papers, colours and typography which has made Leaf’s reputation over fourteen years. These two will be assembled and hand-stitched in the sunny/rainy studio looking out to the cedar forest.

Blind judging in effect.

The fee of $25.00 per entry supports Leaf’s publishing program. By participating you contribute to Canada’s small independent publishing community. If you wish to contribute more, simply increase the quantity in the PayPal window.

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

Robert Bringhurst The Ridge (Interview) Pt. 1

Dec 4, 2023

The Ridge is a poem in 20 parts, a meditation on a geological feature of Quadra Island, a large island in British Columbia, just north of the Strait of Georgia, and thus the Salish Sea. But the poem is also a meditation on what’s happening on the island and on the planet we share in what’s been described as devastating imagery. I would add that it’s a meditation on the human species as well, at this time in the early Anthropocene.
Robert Bringhurst is the author. Trained initially in the sciences at MIT, he makes his life in the humanities from his home on Quadra Island, where he’s worked in poetry, Native American linguistics and typography. An officer of the Order of Canada, former Guggenheim Fellow and winner of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence. He’s our guest today to talk about The Ridge. Robert, thanks for your time and hospitality.
