We discuss Cameron Anstee's debut trade collection, Book of Annotations (Invisible Publishing, 2018), minimalism, influences, ephemera, podcast tension, beard stroking, the little Engine that Could, books as material objects, micropress vs small press, and more as we celebrate the start of the third season of the Small Machine Talks with local poet, Cameron Anstee.

Episode 35 - Ottawa Small Press Book Fair and more

The Small Machine Talks is a monthly conversation that explores the poetry scene of Central Canada and beyond. Its hosts are Ottawa poets, Amanda Earl and a.m. kozak. The podcast features interviews with poets, publishers, and literary event organizers, discussions of recent and upcoming poetry events, calls for submission, talks on poetics, recent issues of online and print journals, books and chapbooks and sometime in the future, topics of interest to writers and readers of poetry. The podcast is part of AngelHousePress, a Canadian micropress that publishes raw talent, ragged edges and rebels in the form of chapbooks, two online magazines, a transgressive prose imprint, DevilHouse, and an essay series.
