March is a special month. Not only was it the first month in the ancient Roman calendar, it is also host to two — count 'em, two — featured titles on the Coach House website: Rachel Zolf's Neighbour Procedure and Carla Gunn's Amphibian!
Starting Wednesday, March 10, you can hear from the man who started it all at the AGO. In March, Coach House Press founder and master printer Stan Bevington will begin an ongoing series of weekly conversations at Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario. As part of the AGO's innovative exhibit, 'Canadian Art in the 1960s and 1970s through the lens of Coach House Press,' Bevington will take up residence in the exhibit space every Wednesday night, between 7 and 8 p.m.
