Beer and poetry — Canadian

Anonymous Patron writes The Globe and Mail reports A gaggle of Canadian poets will hoist books and beers in New York this week at three events to help publicize a landmark achievement: the first publication in recent memory of a Canadian poetry anthology in the United States.

With poets from around the world flooding into the city for PEN World Voices, a week-long festival of international literature that wraps up on Friday, Ken Babstock, Christian Bök, Susan Goyette, Erín Moure and Karen Solie will read at Poet’s House in SoHo tonight to celebrate the publication of Open Field: 30 Contemporary Canadian Poets, edited by Sina Queyras and published by the small New York press, Persea Books.”
