As part of the Blue Metropolis Festival, Expozine brings together members of two Montreal small press poetry collectives on April 25 at 5:30 PM, 10 Sherbrooke O.
Working in their respective languages, the artisanal periodicals Tantôt and RODAISUN have created vibrant spaces for new voices and poetic experimentation. The five poet-editors of the two magazines will join the Expozine team to discuss collective publishing, their editorial and graphic influences, and the challenges of producing small-press, artisanal magazines—along with the often blurred boundary between zines and magazines.
The event will conclude with a short collective reading. Bilingual readings; conversation in French and English.
