Authors at Harbourfront brings back its popular poetry competition to feature 20 of Canada’s upcoming and established poets. One of the poets will receive an automatic invitation to read at the 32nd annual International Festival of Authors and an ad for their book in NOW!
Coach House poet Gary Barwin (The Porcupinity of the Stars) will be representing at the event. Come out and show your support for him!
In addition to being the start of the summer movie season, a time for flowers and the last name of Rod Stewart's friend Maggie, May is also the month of Doors Open Toronto and the start of Book Expo America! But here's the thing about May: it's the fifth month of the year, and as such (and because we're stumped for sale ideas), we're taking a fifth of the price off every title on the Coach House site!
From May 30 to June 1, the largest publishing event in North America – Book Expo America (or 'BEA' to those in 'the biz') – is hosted at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, and Coach House will be there. Like every year, the Expo provides booksellers and publishing industry workers a preview of exciting new things happening in the world of books.
