Moritz\, and Graeme Bezanson\n\n\n\nJoin the Ottawa Writers Festival for an evening of poetry and conversation celebrating new titles from House of Anansi Press. This event will take place at 7:00pm\, May 22\, 2026\, at the GCTC Studio\, 1233 Wellington Street West\, Ottawa. This is a special limited seating event. Please reserve your tickets here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart self-interrogation\, part confession\, part hospital diary\, the intense\, heartbreakingly frank poems in Brandi Bird’s second collection\, Pitiful \, detail the author’s ongoing struggles with eating disorders and depression\, conditions that disproportionately afflict Indigenous girls\, women\, and two-spirited persons. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA.F. Moritz’s twenty-third book of poems originated with an impulse\, beginning in April 2019\, to write a series of continuous poems. The first goal was to keep them short. The second was to make them separate\, in the process reflecting the whole of human life\, stable in moments and bodies. In  The Wren\, Moritz arranges 70 short poems in a sort of galaxy: an apparent scatter\, not of stars but of poems\, of feeling-thoughts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGraeme Bezanson’s debut collection\,  Ultra Blue\, is a book-length sequence of poems about the emotional lives of boys and the challenges of growing up within contemporary constructions of masculinity. These intense\, insistently strange poems developed from Bezanson’s struggles with guiding his young son through a culture of toxic masculinity and violence. \n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to our friends at the Great Canadian Theatre Company. \n\n\n\nHouse of Anansi Poetry Bash Featuring Brandi Bird\, A.F.

Moritz\, introduced and in conversation with Michael Redhill. So that the venue may estimate attendance\, please RSVP via Flying Books In The Wren\, A.F. Moritz arranges 70 short poems in a sort of galaxy: an apparent scatter\, not of stars but of poems\, of feeling-thoughts. What is the unity of these active “states” of ours\, given that they do not simply follow\, or hook onto\, or neighbour\, or echo one another in a chain of resemblance that seems to have gaps and missing links that reappear later\, healed? The title was chosen partly to speak to Moritz’s The Sparrow: Selected Poems (2018)\, but also because\, among the many short poems of this collection\, one of them asked to be central: a poem about a small bird that hops from within a thicket of stems to peer out at the poet for a second and then disappears back inside. This tiny story of a tiny fellow creature is the narrative\, the “novel\,” of this book: a little story that is nonetheless one of the great and ever-retold stories.The Wren is A.F. Moritz’s twenty-third book of poetry. He has received the Guggenheim Fellowship\, the Award in Literature of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters\, and the Ingram Merrill Fellowship\, and he served as Toronto’s sixth Poet Laureate. The Sentinel won the 2009 Griffin Poetry Prize\, was a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award\, and was a Globe and Mail Top 100 of the Year. Great Silent Ballad received the 2025 Al & Eurithe Purdy Poetry Prize.  \n\n\n\nBOOK LAUNCHThe Wren by A.F.
