The latest above/ground press (rob mclennan) arrived today. The next few years should be an interesting time for Canadian poetry—you’ll want to be there, no? Subscribe (and leave a nice tip to help cover the recent postage hike).

Went to Ottawa to give the keynote speech at Ottawa U’s EGSA conference, saw some friends, crashed rob mclennan’s birthday, read a bunch, took my kid shopping (& complained the whole time about our age of post-capitalistic consumerism), & remain grateful, & over-caffeinated.

We recommend a subscription to above/ground press (rob mclennan) for a low-cost pick-me-up delivered regularly to your mailbox. A little money might cheer up the press as well.

The frequency of our posts every time we get a delivery from our above/ground press subscription attests to the productivity of this rob mclennan fellow. We don’t know the number of chapbooks in a year, but it must amount to a couple of dollars each, even with a diner’s tip.

To clarify our posts on above/ground press, we have no association with rob mclennan, and the material doesn’t align with our Mayor Walter Assef- Red Tory politics—we’d place them in the NDP range. We simply support Canadian small press.

In this New Books Network (@newbooksnetwork.bsky.social) Literature episode, I speak with rob mclennan about his extraordinary collection of stories, On Beauty (University of Alberta Press, 2024). Listen here: . newbooksnetwork.com/on-beauty 📸 Photo credit: Marc Perez UAlberta Press #shortstories

Imagine, you’re 15 yrs old and, one day, you get an envelope from something called above/ground press, with three chapbooks in it, you look at them, trying to work out the puzzle of why they’ve been sent to you, and, a week, or a month later, you get another envelope, and

an update, an update, my kingdom for an update, Found myself nodding with familiarity and fondness while reading this update ⁦⁦rob mclennan⁩ robmclennan.substack.com/p/an-update-an…

Some unravel updates (thread) Thanks to rob mclennan for this review of Unravel. Said rob: "Oloruntoba offers deep attention to the smallest moments, small things, which allow for larger revelation; the only way, perhaps, to get there from here.” robmclennan.blogspot.com/2025/03/tolu-o…

This chap of “free jazz” poems by Jacob Braun (published by above/ground press) has been the delight of my lunch break.

Did this one make the cut? #cdnpoli

Just when we thought we could quit the building, we get pulled back in by another delivery from above/ground press. Terminals has us on the internet searching the source poems used for its format. Suitcase put us on Etsy looking for new Horsebroke Press offerings…an hour passes.
