A reminder that the deadline for the Fred Cogswell Award (2025 Canadian poetry books) is June 28th. This deadline is historically in the fall, so poets remind your publishers!

People, if you don't yet own this book, for the love of God correct your mistake ASAP.
Today I got to read and discuss poems by Phoebe Wang, Marilyn Dumont, Matsuki Masutani and Terrance Hayes (along with a couple of my own) to interested students in Poland.
What an unexpected delight! Thank you to @goufv.bsky.social and the University of Silesia for making it happen.
