“There is an endearing sense of intimacy and honesty in the best of Lea’s work, without any sense of empty trendiness.” View the original over at The Puritan, or click on the thumbnail to read on here!

And rob mclennan blogs about Julie Cameron Gray’s Coordinating Geometry over here – “It’s as though her poems are still working to discover a balance between ease and seriousness, working still to hold back a formal sense from tripping her up. “

And, we’re back.

It’s been a long hiatus for us over here at TERU… turns out getting married takes up WAY more of your time than you’d think, even when the wedding is simply and lovely. But now that we’re all done celebrating our nuptials, we’re ready to celebrate the release of our two fabulous new chapbooks: Julie Cameron Gray’s Coordinating Geometry and Nick Lea’s Actual Girl! And of course all of our older, but not any less fabulous, chapbooks and broadsides will be available for your purchasing pleasure, too.

Both books will be available at the Ottawa Small Press Fair this Saturday (12-5) at the Jack Purcell Community Centre (320 Jack Purcell Lane). Nick’s also reading at the Carleton Tavern the night before, if you prefer your poetry out loud.

And to tide you over until then, we’ll be on the Ottawa airwaves today, just in time for rush hour! Tune in to Click here today (Wednesday Nov. 2) at 5 pm, on CHUO-FM89, for an interview with yours truly.

We all scream for chapbooks!

Another Spring: a fundraiser for Japan relief

Leigh — Wed, 04 May 2011 17:37:32 +0000

We’ve woken early from our winter slumber to bring you, courtesy of the lovely Sachiko Murakami, a brand new broadside, Another Spring: a renga in twenty-seven parts for Japan.

Featuring a collaborative poem penned by a range of fabulously talented poets, each broadside sells for only $10, with all proceeds going to Second Harvest Japan.

We’re super pleased and honoured to have been asked to take part and donate to such a worthy cause – and to that end, we’re asking you to help us sell out our first print run! A framed broadside would make a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift…

DP gets some… love?

Head on over to rob mclennan’s blog for a glimpse into Dinosaur Porn, the anthology we put out in 2009 with the equally fabulous Ferno House. DP’s been an international bestseller (it was a hit at the Brooklyn Book Festival) and there are still a few copies availble… drop us a line if you want to get your mitts on a copy.

Pleased as punch.

In just over a week, we’re off to the Brooklyn Book Festival (September 12) – along with the fabulous Toronto Poetry Vendors - to hock our literary wares and test our luck at fame and fortune. We’ll have chapbooks and broadsides for sale, so tell all of your New York friends to swing by!

BAM and the Event Horizon

Leigh — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:52:10 +0000

This coming Saturday, July 24, TERU will be participating in the Barns Art Market (BAM!) at Artscape Wychwood Barns (address: 601 Christie Street) from 10:00AM – 5:00PM. Admission is free!

Come and peruse our selection of broadsides (designed for the 2010 Scream Literary Festival). The Barns Art Market is an exhibition and sale of artworks including painting, photography, ceramic arts and various other media … we’re told it takes place in the Covered Street (Barn 2) at the Artscape Wychwood Barns.

Also taking place on July 24 is Event Horizon: a lecture and discussion on what it means to be avant-garde from 12-5pm at Of Swallows, Their Deeds, and the Winter Below (283 College St).

Artistic Director Bill Kennedy holds a lecture and discussion on David Antin’s what it means to be avant-garde in relation to this year’s Scream Literary Festival. The sympathetic and the skeptical are equally welcome. Foregone conclusions are not. The $20 admission includes a copy of the TERU edition, with the remaining proceeds going to The Toronto New School of Writing.
