Lisa Robertson lives in the village of Nalliers (population 310), on the Gartempe River, which drains from the Massif Central into the Loire basin. This region is the historic border zone of old Aquitaine, also the ragged border zone of old Occitan, and French. The current economy is based on small scale agriculture, the building trades, a plastic bag factory, and under-the-table activities. She moved to the region in 2004; she began making chapbooks in the late 80s in Vancouver. Her most recent book is 3 Summers.
This is Robertson’s second title with above/ground press, after On Physical Real Beginning and What Happens Next (2012).
[Produced for Robertson's participation in Ottawa's 7th annual VERSeFest, March 21-26]
