Tune in to “In Other Words” on Tuesday, April 29th when Diana Kiesners interviews Montreal poet Asa Boxer about his new book, The Mechanical Bird (Signal Editions, Véhicule Press).
Asa Boxer's work has been anthologised in The New Canon (2005), Montreal vue par ses poetes (2006), Oxford Poetry Broadsides (Series 3 - 2007), and Jacket 34 (online – 2007). He has published poems, essays and articles with Books in Canada, Canadian Notes and Queries, Maisonneuve, Arc, enRoute and Poetry London.
Also, Lorna Toolis, head of one of Toronto’s best-kept secrets, The Merrill Collection, talks about the Toronto Public Library’s bold stance against genre snobbery – they’re in the middle of an enormous speculative fiction reading series. Part of the Canada Council Heritage Series, Foresight: Speculative Fiction in Canada features some of Canada’s best science fiction and fantasy authors. The series continues through May. Frak, it’s good!
Tuesday, April 29th from 2-3pm CKLN 88.1 FM or online at ckln.fm (click "listen live")
