Description

An up-and-coming queer poet from the Montreal scene, which is the forefront of young Canadian poetry at the moment. Simina is also a designer and illustrator who has a popular Instagram account featuring her humorous drawings and brings a strong visual element to her poetry. This book has the potential to cross over between the Instagram poets and the more experimental visual poets.

Reviews

"Moving through a variety of poem-structures, including more traditional lyric structures, prose poems, drawings and visual poems, Banu becomes the explorer, fearlessly pushing out into the unknown." rob mclennan's Blog
