Huge congrats to CAROUSEL 36 contributor Liz Howard — who recently won the prestigious Griffin Poetry Prize — Jurors called her ambitious debut collection, Infinite Citizen of the Shaking Tent, a work of poems “filled with energy and magic, suspended between competing inheritances, at home in their hyper-modern hybridity”. Congrats also to to CAROUSEL 36 contributor Ben Ladouceur — the newest poet to join the ranks of emerging writers honoured by the Gerald Lampert Memorial
On Saturday November 22, CAROUSEL will join approximately thirty of Canada’s best independent publishers and magazines for Meet the Presses Indie Literary Market in Toronto. This annual event introduces the public to independent literary publishers and authors of books, chapbooks, magazines, broadsheets, and recordings that are largely not available in bookstores. The event will also host the announcement of the winner of the bpNichol Chapbook Award, whose purse this year doubled to $4,000. Facebook event:
