<p><b>Finalist for the Archibald Lampman Award<br /></b><b><b>Finalist</b> for the Nelson Ball Prize<br /></b></p><p>The debut collection from small press editor and publisher Cameron Anstee, <i>Book of Annotations</i> deploys a number of minimalist strategies-including erasure, found, lyric, haiku, one-line, one-word, concrete/visual, cento, restricted vocabularies, and lists-to question how small a poem can be made, and how can a small poem be made expansive? Engaging with contemporary and historical modes of minimalism, Book of Annotations is a dialogue in shorthand with work by H. D., Nelson Ball, Lorine Niedecker, Aram Saroyan, Phyllis Webb, Robert Lax, and dozens of others.</p><p>'Anstee’s debut collection of poetry is definitely worthy of all acknowledgements and eligible accolades.'<b>—<i>Arc Poetry Magazine</i></b></p><p>“Wise and playful, the epigrammatic poems in <i>Book of Annotation</i>s push past the limits of each word and into a space tense with imagination and truth. Not a word is wasted as Cameron Anstee demonstrates supreme control of space and minimalism.”<b>—Archibald Lampman Award jury citation</b></p>
