YOLO, Dodo
Odourless Press is tickled to announce its spring 2014 (Series 3) poets: Laura Clarke, Kayla Czaga, Emma Healey and E. Martin Nolan!
They’ll each be bringing a chapbook to the table; no pamphlets or broadsides this time. Individual title listings and launch details will be posted here in May.
A lot’s been going on with past Odourless poets/titles since the last update, so just to mention a few big things:
The National Post’s three most anticipated poetry books of 2014 are all written by past Odourless poets! Click here and scroll down to find out who. You can still order their Odourless stuff before their new books hit the shelves.
The Odourless Press fall launch was written up (like in a good way) in The Town Crier, which identified Odourless among "a very exciting trend in Canadian literature." Thanks to Tracy Kyncl for thoughtfully writing up each poet’s set, especially that of Phoebe Wang, who, by the way, is leading an Artscape workshop on micropublishing.
One of the first ever Odourless poets, Ben Ladouceur, has been busy lately, being included in The Best Canadian Poetry 2013, getting nominated for the Pushcart Prize, winning PRISM International’s Earle Birney Poetry Prize, writing this web series, and publishing this blasphemous poem in The Walrus. And if you’re around New York on March 7, catch Ben reading with none other than Anne Carson (among others) at NYU.
If this were a wildlife preservation charity bachelor(ette) auction, Odourless poets would net enough to resurrect the dodo. But this isn’t an auction, our poets are spoken for and dodos were useless, so put your pants back on for the time being.
