CBC Poetry Prize Longlist: Brockwell + Elmslie,

above/ground press authors Stephen Brockwell and Susan Elmslie are among the longlist of thirty-eight writers on this year's CBC Poetry Prize. Congratulations to you both! You can see the entire longlist, here.

Stephen Brockwell is the author of five trade poetry collections, and has had three chapbooks produced through above/ground press over the years: Marin County Poems (2001), Impossible Books (the Carleton Installment) (2010), and Excerpts from Impossible Books, The Crawdad Cantos (2012). Susan Elmslie, the author of a trade poetry collection through Brick Books, has a wee chapbook produced through above/ground press many moons ago, her I, Nadja (2000), which, if you can imagine, might even still have a few copies left, lying around.

The 2014 CBC Poetry Prize shortlist will be announced on Monday, September 8.
