It's the second book of poetry for the pod and we absolutely loved it.Show NotesHouse of Anansi's namesake comes from the spider god of West-African tradition, Kwaku Anansi, who created the world.House of Anansi is located in Toronto. Be sure to check out their sister imprint, Groundwood Books, for children's and young adult lit. If you're looking for the book version of the annual CBC Massey Lectures, it's House of Anansi you want! The All + Flesh was published on August 8 and is available for purchase. The other book of poetry we talked about on the pod is Because the Sun by Sarah Burgoyne, published by our other fave indie publisher, Coach House. Our next episode is a book club episode! We'll be talking about Bear by Marian Engel (also published by House of Anansi). It's going to be an interesting one!If you haven't already, take a look at the Narcisse snake pits in Manitoba, but be warned! It is very much a writing pit of snakes.
